Alright guys I know it has been a couple months with no update. I have been pretty busy with life I got a new job and moved to a different city and haven't had time to work on my car. I got everything sorted out and now have time to work on it again. Here are some updates.
I got my crank in, I plastigauged it and it was well within specs with the new bearings.
I cleaned my pistons best I could which was a major pain in the ass. Dishwasher actually worked good hah
I installed my pistons and plastigauged the rod bearing and they we're also in spec so that was nice.
I started working on my head and getting my valves phased. Needed some help from a friend but after that the retainers where pretty easy.
Phasing
valves in.

I checked the valves for leaks by putting them in the compression stroke and poured fuel in the dome. They didn't leak a bit.
Head fully assembled
I put my head studs in and was wondering if a small amount of threads sticking up was normal or if will effect anything.
I am going the MLS route and was ready to throw the head on after cleaning the surfaces meticulously. After trying to put the gasket on it was getting caught on the dowels around the two head studs. I ripped them out and ordered a couple more along with some other parts. Here is it sitting on the block if you notice the right top side isn't flush.
