11 months isn't that long to have it in storage but you may want to disconnect the plug wire to the coil and ground it manually on the plenum when you first crank the engine. This will keep it from getting spark and let the oil pump prime and pump some oil up onto the heads before starting the engine.

If you get a lot of tapping, do the "3 minute fix" for tapping to get oil into the lash adjusters.

Good luck,
