    We i used to build big HP engines, i would always select engines that had been sitting outside for years (302 & 351 Clevelands, Intech 6's, Buick V6, 250 Crossflow- Aussie engines).
    Would go out of my way to buy engines from down south (NSW, Tasmania etc) where it snows; these weathered engines once cleaned & built, never gave an issue as they had been "seasoned", never suffered cracked blocks or heads, never any leaking issues (even with 38psi+ of boost).

    Exceptional build, as expected. With a valve and plug cover that Jag would be proud of. What instrument is that? bagless bagpipe?
    Just nit picking really. Keep in mind to not spin a crank unnecessarily and minimally(to check for binding only) before the caps are on. The bearings aren't actually round until the main caps are torqued. The bigger issue is spinning the crank spits the assembly lube out and thus can make for a dry start, unless you prime the oil pump before first start.
    Crank set in; 1/2 turn in both directions, 1-2; caps on and torqued, 1-2; rods in and torqued, 4; once cam chain is on to check for valve/piston contact.
    Specifically thick assembly lube is designed like greasy oil that will prevent damage in build testing and the 5-10 seconds before the engine gets oil pressure. It dissolves into the oil which is generally changed at 100km of driving.
