Advice on the rebuilt engine - if it is not too late - I would not button the top end up completely. You will need to take valley pan off and apply assembly lube/cam lube to the lobes on the cam again AT LEAST just prior to cranking engine up for first time. Recommend drizzling it on there and the rotating assembly and hand turning crank multiple times prior to firing up. If it sits for more than a day or two the stuff will run down and off the parts it is desperately needed on to prevent wiping a lobe.
