Be really careful about valve lash.  Set it according to the cam card.  Run it 
and get it good and hot.  Then re-set it.  Check lash frequently.  Some of us 
are either not as good a mechanic as we think we are, or we might be lazy or 
something (hee hee hee), but I've noticed that the clearances in my motor are 
different every time I check them.  Either sloppy setting the first time, or a 
not so tight lock nut.  The damn thing is, I've got nobody but myself to blame!
