I was able to finally test the engine today with the fuel pump. Ran great and started right up. Needed a little tuning. I checked the valve gaps prior to running. From the factory they were all fairly consistent. I still had to adjust a few. my only concern was that the nuts on the adjustments bolts were over tightened. I could barely get them off. So, I'd check if you haven't. I'm sure at the factory they firmly tighten so they don't come loose in shipping, but they were a little over tight. Definitely use a nut driver to loosen first time to avoid possibly stripping.

So, I'll go ahead an install the engine in the air frame and get moving on the rest of work
