Could use a dial indicator to check the cam lift...or put a degree wheel and a piston stop and see what kind of specs are on the cam...most aftermarket cams are marked on the end with numbers denoting the grind.
Then I'd check all the bearings, piston to wall clearance (just cuz it's bored and honed doesn't mean it's right), end gap on the rings, crank thrust bearing clearance, etc...best to know exactly what the specs are before you fire it.
As with Don's experience, beats the heck out of finding a bunch of surprises later!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
