I need to mock my engine to check clearances (cam, block) before I take the rotating assembly into the machine shop for ballancing. I have a few question.

1. Do you install one piston at a time and number the pistons, so that when they get back from the ballancing it goes back to the same cylinder?

2. What is the best moly lube to used during mock up?

3. Pistons usually have a arrow or some type of identification showing the right direction of pistons facing the fron of the engine, my Wiseco "Pro-Tru Flattop" Do Not. Which way does the eyebrow face?

4. Anything else that I should look for while checking the clearances please post?

5. Signature has the parts im using.
