I'm no expert by any means but I know how to check clearances. So does this guy and he'll help you!

Let us know what you find and someone will chime in. You'll find out a lot about the engine when you pull the pan. If you find a layer of sludge in the bottom, someone lied to you. If it looks pretty clean, then you'll probably be fine.

Thanks a lot later on tonight when I get home I will go ahead and watch The video and do some other research. The kit I bought the motor from seeing pretty honest and straightforward he did not know a lot about the engine as he bought it from somebody that he kind of knew or a friend of the family or something. He pretty much told me what he knew it was straight up on us in the back and he didn't know much other than what he was told when he bought it

I will get the pan off tomorrow get a good look at it and figure out where locally I can get bus stop to check the clearances.
