If the motor has been sitting for longer than a few months, make sure you use a drill motor to spin the oil pump for a few min before firing it over to get the oil circulating. A friend of mine did not do this and he had a lot of valve knocking for about 2-weeks before it finally cleared itself up. He always wondered if any permanent damage was top to the top end.
Valve covers and brackets look great!
