The car is back together and running. At first it had a tick. Could have been the lifters pumping up after sitting dry for nearly a month. Or it could have been those two muffler clamps that did not get tightened before the 1st start. I tightened those up after the first run around the block in first and second. Then took it for a longer @ 4 Mile Drive. Upon return the ticking has stopped.

Time to get 500 miles on it and then change the oil. Unfortunately the wires leading to my Guardian Plug have broken, so no Guardian to monitor metal in the engine. I am going to have to rely solely on the oil changes and filter inspections. It a shame, I really liked the piece of mind of the Guardian. I am going to make a call Monday. I don’t think the sell them anymore and I am way out of any warranty period.
