Depending on your piston type too, a lot of builders are building extra clearance into the motors becuase of the ring land problems that have happened.
What it really takes is to properly 'Blueprint " the motor, and for the money that you paid, that is what you should have got!
The reason I bought a Roush was for their "Great Reputation" .. thats why I paid MORE instead of going "No Name" crate.

Now that I am ready to send it back let's see what happens.
