I was told to smear it lightly on the barrels and ensure it was in the ring grooves of the pistons (to stop the micro welding) and also smear onto piston skirts,  

that's the stuff Ando. Those valve reliefs look pretty serious.
Yea Bob Woods does seem to be very well respected. I actually phoned him and discussed a few things. I was surprised he said the 777 would work over such a wide range of CP. He did say " it's all about timing and temp", I was pretty happy to be able to talk directly with him about a number of things.

John Magee from Bandit machine works was another great person to speak with.

They are CP 5.5cc domed pistons I got from GMR for the 120r

CP is quality stuff

I have a mate getting WFO Larry doing his heads with wildthing cams (50* intake closing) with CP domed pistons and jugs bored to 107 cc,will be at 11.2/1 comp

the 120 will be the go mate
your mates will rock and WFO is one of the premier head guys from what I read. wish I had went that way but he can get very busy. dam yanks and their winter projects.
from my early days working car engines compression is a major factor, get it right and all is good get it wrong and it can be a dud or a bitch. I do remember going over board on a 351 and a 308 both of which were pigs to tune and drive
