Anothe follow up for those of us less "seasoned" home mechaics.

Wires/igniters were fine.

It continued not sounding quite right, but did evenually start running like I expected it to.
I guess just sitting for close to a month and having the valve train basically void of any oil led to it taking some time to get re-lubricated after running. Although I did wet it down with my oil squirt can before I reassembled it.

Anyway - it's back on the road. I've put about 100 mi on it and I'm convinced I can safely turn it back over to the wife.
