Now that I have everything working - I have a couple of questions for those
of you who know :)

While my "new" engine isn't a fresh rebuild nor is it new it did sit for an
unknown amount of time. So does it require a kind of break in period? Should
I change the oil after a small amount of miles? I mean maybe it doesn't
matter at all since it's not new - but I wondered because it had been
sitting (possibly for several years).

The second thing i wanted to ask is about lifter noise. I've heard a lot
about it here over the years but have never experienced it (or at least I
don't think I have) - well I think I am experiencing this now - can anyone
explain the sound this would make? I would say waht I am hearing isn't a
knock or a ping really - I'm not sure what I would call it. I understand
that if this is the lifters this should correct itself once they are pumped
back up - how long does that take?

Thanks again for everything.
