not to be a naysayer, but just because it starts and idles doesn't mean there isn't valve damage. you need to do a leak down and compression test like several here have mentioned. If it passes then you have indeed dodged a bullet... but I'm going to bet at least 2-4 bent valves.....

Perhaps I'm just tired and not thinking clearly, or maybe I missed it, but without doing some sort of compression test at this point, how do you know that you don't have subtle valve damage in 1 (or more) cylinder? I certainly hope that there isn't, and I'd guess that a zero-compression cylinder would have a bad whistly leaking sound that would be obvious (?)
Just curious.

Don't do any more reassembly until you know for sure.
Once it passes a leak down test then buy me a lottery ticket too.
Good luck and, it does sound great.
Now get busy on that leak down.

I ran it for an hour to bleed the coolant.
I wanted to know if there was any change as it warmed up but I did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
I plan on doing a compression test this weekend, I hope, but I wanted the engine warmed up, lifters pumped up and then I will get a true reading.
It has been sitting for just about a year.
