some notes from a beginner, change rings or change pistons?

[DBRODS]

Did you measure the clearance on the rods? Those mains are super tight..

I used the wrong plasitgauge , i was supposed to use the GREEN not the red

i JB welded the the intake manifold for now , will buy somthing better than stock , considering the stock bare manifold is for 258$

ITS ALIVE
started the truck yestrday ,it was in a coma for 6 weeks !!

drives good just dies when slowing down under 12-15mph to turn or stop at a light.

needs a retune

as for any thing else i noticed some good torque gains on idle to 3000rpm with part throttle ,cant step on it just yet , breaking in the new bearings/piston rings

every thing else is great

will try to post some pics

Im n czech now, cant realy take pics or vids , havet tuned it yet, the A/F ratio is way rich , it hits 9.5:1 to 9:1 on WOT and it smokes like a diesel its running on the 5.3/cam ECM/tune . the 6.0 ECM is set up on 4L80 and no electric fans so cant really use it.

ill be back in a month or so, ill dyno tune it then hoping to get 390-400 , the 5.3 did 365/368 with this cam
