Congrats. I'll be happy when I get my buggy engine back in and running too.

Driving it
around the block would be good. Noticing oil leaks among the obvious. Make sure that the block is a AS41. Its always a gamble picking up a used motor from someone.

I prefer to use copper
head gaskets to increase DH. My latest engine has the same 0.010" DH as yours, so I added a 0.040" set of copper Bugpack head gaskets to get 0.050" clearance. It's possible that 0.040" DH would be fine, but I prefer a bit more, just to be on the safe side. How will you be driving with this engine-ie. long distance highway, Friday night racing?

You probably don't have the linkage adjusted properly. There might be some binding. I had to play with mine a little before I got it working well

sounds like you have dropped some valve seats or your push rods are doing
something weird like they are not in the rocker cup.
take the rockers off completely and see if all your valve stems line up and see if all your push rods are straight etc.
