I absolutely will Tyler - be glad to.   You might be able to hear all the way over there:   The exhaust flange has not come in yet so I will be attempting to start it with an open exhaust manifold. (-;

Thanks Dean.  As to valve seating:   I had considered that, so I didn't adjust any valves that needed to have the clearance decreased. The only ones I adjusted were the ones where clearance needed to be increased.

Already picked up the valve cover gasket so keep your fingers crossed!
