Thanks guys. I let it run a while longer, and the oil started coming in. It was dry so it was extra noisy, for a minute. Also, I adjusted the valves and now it purrs like a kitten. Thanks again! She runs great, just put 250 miles on her.

If the head comes off the valve clearances MUST be reset before the engine is run using 'rule of nine' to do the adjustment. Set to 0.012" COLD.
As above, if the rocker pillars have had their positions changed the rocker pillar with the oil feed hole will not be in the right position.
What is the 'rule of nine' ?
