2nd Head Gasket?

Maybe a ring is hung up and the cylinder won't move down anymore?

Look at the pic again...the head is far from being seated on the ONE base gasket which is what I wondered about...he needs two base gaskets under the cylinder.

Raising the cylinder will just expose more of the upper ring and that's not right.

Their's nothing unusual about the ring guys. I just pulled one out and at bdc not only is the bottom ring exposed but the top ring is peeking a bit as well through the intake .
What's making this look so odd is you can see both the ring and the rod through the windowed piston. Both the base gaskets are on. You can see a contrast in their colors.
Probably bolts are to long or it's tight and he's not used to seeing the gap left at the head caused by the crush ring. At any rate it's nothing that insuring the studs are ran in and if needed adding a washer or 3 won't fix.

Dude don't use 2 head gaskets. Use extra washers if the hex bolts are to long. The extra gasket is going to drop your compression and increase your squish clearance big time. You would have been fine with the stock studs. These things work quite well without over thinking it.
