New pistons and rods, any suggestions
I'm putting wiseco low compression pistons and eagle forged rod along with ARP head studs and new stainless steel head gaskets. I was wondering if any of you guy can give me some pointers, like things to watch out for or things to be more careful. thanks

Be very careful when installing pistons in the bores, make sure the rings are adequately compressed before tapping the piston into the block.
Be very careful not to scrape the crankshaft journals with the rod bolts.
Use assembly lube on the piston pins before installing.
Triple check to make sure the piston pin retaining rings are properly seated.
Make sure the back side of each rod bearing is clean and dry before installing.
Use assembly lube on rod bearings.
