You might also want to call the builder and see if they sonic tested the cylinder walls. The notes you posted shows the bores at .040 over...I recall many posts that if there is an casting shift even a .030 motor can have some issues. The Cowboy from Hell or Dan Jones can certainly comment on that better than I. I have an .030 motor and am getting the block sonic tested prior to re-assembly. I have also thought about doing a half fill of the block to strengthen the water jackets, but that isn't too good for cooling, so I think I will take my chances.
