I'm pretty sure it was just the throttle cable because I'm watching it idle slow 'n' smooth right as I type this. I'm waiting 30 mins... there are contesting ideas of how to break in a rebuilt engine... any insight from our keen and educated users here on the steps? I'm also hearing clicking and clacking - not unhealthy, but it doesnt seem normal either. The "clicking" is definitely coming from the cam, and the deeper "clacking" is kind of coming from the whole thing, perhaps bottom end <bites fingernails> Anyone know what this is without a video or audio?

edit: burping the coolant too - it started "burping" pretty violently so I decided to put the cap on. Should I just wait till next time its cold and burp it again?
