[33 IMP]

Yep, there's doing it the right way, and then there's Mickey mousing a half-fast job.
Congrats on choosing to do it right.

Thanks for all of your input.
My next question is to reuse existing or buy new head gaskets?
Engine is a fresh rebuild and never been started.

Thanks,

Which head gaskets?

I would say run them. When checking for pushrod length and then piston to valve clearance heads are torqued down and then removed to measure clay indentations.
