Most primers are porous. Therefore they need to be "sealed" as soon as they can be top coated. Your body supply shop should be able to provide a primer/sealer. This will seal the metal from the envi

I would not use such a cam in a rebuild. You have to decide which is really less expensive, laying out the cash for a new or reground cam and lifters and installing them now, or having to disassembl

It may have to do with how the pistons where made and the materials they were made from. Forged pistons tend to expand much more as they heat up. For this reason they may appear smaller than cast or
