Guys i just wanted to update this just incase someone else runs into the same problem, the skirt of the piston #8 was hitting the relucter wheel when the piston was at the bottom of the cylinder, i marked the spot where it was hitting, took it back out, filed down where it was hitting untill i had decent clearance and it worked just fine. Truck is up and running fine
