Grip a tid bit of advice, use blue loc-tite on EVERYTHING in the engine. I tq'ed everything to spec on my engine and some of the bolts were looser then what they should when I disassembled it. Also, when putting the lifters in put them in the lifter tray then in the lifter bore, for some reason the people on tech think you should put them in the lifter bore then put the tray on. The lifter tray retainer bolts are 108 in-lbs. Also pour oil in both holes that go to the oil filter before putting the pan back on so it will help prime the motor even further. Make sure to use a rod bolt stretch gauge instead of a tq rating it is far more accurate.
Im sure you know most of this just wanted to share a bit fo my the knowledge I have attained in my builds and hopefully make things go a bit smoother for you.
