I'm sure that all builds there get the max treatment concerning all build details. Removing sharp edges on piston tops and combustion chambers. Making sure the cam is dialed in. Checking all the lifters in each bore to make sure you don't have a "sticker". Preoiling the engine. Proper valve lash. Carb prep for a dyno pull.
There's many more but, I'm thinking this enging had a "Great" chance because of the instruction passed down from the teacher.
I asked a lot of questions of my engine builder. Had them written down when I made a visit. He moved to another part of the state, and doesn't build common engines any more. I see him at NHRA events but don't talk to him much there, knowing how focused he is at a race...
