John - If the oil pressure gauge is showing good pressure, you should be ok, but after you have pressure and the engine is ok, run it at a fast idle - maybe 2,000 rpms - from start-up until about 10 minutes after it warms up - then change the oil and filter. You will probably have some valve ticking at first.... it should go away in a few minutes.

I can tell you from experience that loose ignition wires can sound like valve ticking.... particularly the #6 plug wire. Not all of them sound like the typical coil snap sound.

Congratulations! Sounds like another one lives! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I will do that later when it gets a little darker here, so I can see if it is arching. I plan on getting it up to temp and changing the oil tomorrow.. I am actually supposed to be working right now, but that is my bosses fault for letting me work from home this week, and I am soo close to getting this thing running, I can't even think about work! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
