Well I officially ahve the worst luck ever this is why you should never build a stroker motor with a 4.100 stroke counterweight is still hitting the piston skirt atleast it isnt in the truck this time.

They thought it was enough. Its either take more off the pistons or pull the crank back out and have them turn it down soem and rebalance it Im thinkin just drop the crank off in the morning and get them to turn it and balance it I hate doing the ******* rings on the pistons major PITA IMO. Mjhoward is at work and he wants to look at it so Im going to check all pistons and see how bad they are.
