I'd never had any experience with A-1, but a quick google
can change all that... seems to be the ford versus chevy sort
of thing... for the horsepower we are running, either one will
probably be fine.
the VR box is another story..... during my quick learning curve on
6.0's, the one universal, without exception, both online and F2F
constant, was don't touch them with someone else's ten foot pole.
seems they have done a pretty good job of misrepresenting everything
they promised to do.... i'd almost be tempted to see if they would
settle for providing the ford OEM head gaskets, and you change them
out yourself.
at this point, i'd be so pissed at being lied to that i'd be doing a
merchant charge back on the credit card, and they can come
pick up their forking motor on their dime if they want it back.
probably the best solution being in your situation would be to
change the headgaskets myself, chalk it up to a "growth experience"
and move on.
the goal is to get back to work. how much will a weeks work cost you?
as for cracking the engine open, i'm sure that voids their warranty,
but after seeing how they have handled this so far, you may not be
losing much.

Rods are going to have some movement. I really depend on how
much is allowed. For that you need to look in the book for the
tolerances and check with some feeler gauges.
The info you need to find is piston rod crank side clearance.
I can try and look it up if you want. Just have to find the DVD.
On other things PMM has been here before in the hot seat

I should of been watching closer on when you said who you went with.

Connecting rod side clearance is 0.012-0.024in or 0.3-0.6mm.
