Larry:

The block doesn't have to be re-honed since it hasn't been run. A "simple" matter of removing the pistons and replacing them with the correct

I didn't know there there were "wrong" pistons for these engines -- did they put turbo ones in instead? If indeed the wrong pistons were put into the block by the shop, I'd just insist they change them. If you did it, you will probably have to talk them into exchanging them after they have been installed.

Also, if you've taken the prechambers out they must be set to proper height with shims -- check how far they protrude from the head before getting the pistons changed.
