An engine builder's shop better be heaps cleaner than a grimy mechanic shop... Notice how things are covered in cloth *despite* the shop being clean. At the really high end shops they have a separate engine assembly room where parts are moved to after machining, cleaning and inspection. Just to make that last bit of extra mega monster sure that a pesky little metal shard from the machining area doesn't find it's way in to the client's high-dollar build and ruin a bearing surface before the fun has even started.

11 .8 - 11 = .8 ( point eight mm over ) So true 3 times the parts . Hope it went well . The BA is the hardest to remove the OCV s . Ford are very clever with Finance , in my experience says Ford pistons are budget pistons because that's the market they are sold to in the Falcon which is too short for the Barra motor . Germany must love Barra rebuilders ( pistons , rods chains , bolts , all after market) Good luck with that cautious rebuild and the good video.
