piston questions

Long post alright, look at some of mine. What you're saying about buying the "right" pistons is probably what I'm gonna wind up doing. Those h655cp may be what's in there now, I know they have the factory dish like the originals did.
I didn't want to get into what caused me to pull this motor back out. But the first problem I had (and what made me decide to buy the doomed EQ heads) was while it was on the stand, the timing chain I put in had 3 crank keyways. I lined up the wrong marks and bent the valves on the original heads with a breaker bar... I tried to degree it in instead of just lining up and dots like I'd usually done in the past, got some really weird results and confused the hell out of myself, and being that I'd only ever degreed one timing set in prior, which had been years prior, I figured that the oddball results were just my lack of having used a degree wheel in so many years decided to say "screw it" and went with it.
