Also, the best way to check proper pushrod length is with the new cam installed.

Good luck with your build, it seems to be moving along just fine.
In engines I've disassembled that have been passing oil thru the PCV there is usually a black trail inside the intake coming from the PCV port. Mine is dry inside. And checked the stock rocker preload for reference so I can compare when I check again with the new cam in of course.
