piston questions

I don't really want to get into it anymore than I have so far in dibbles and dabbles in different posts on here but the problems with the first rebuild have nothing to do with the fact that they happened on a 360 or any other engine.
But this thing was doomed from the start, the reasons it went bad are many. Seems like I made every possible mistake I could, all on this build. It didn't blow up or spin a bearing, or have a cam go flat, so there's hope for it to live again. I may tell the story about everything that went bad about it but not now.
