Take the valve cover off and re-set the timming on the crank to T.D.C -O- and check the timming marks on the cam gears. These need to be correct or there is a chance of the pistons touching the valves. When the mechanic re-built the engine, did he return to cam followers back to the related holes? I always put mine in an oil bath to keep the oil from leaking out of them. Air is a tough one to completely bleed out of drained cam tappets. It might help to add some valve medic or some sort of valve quieting chemical to the oil. This will remove any varnish or build-up of gunk and then flush the oil with a oil change. I always change the oil on a rebuild after fifty miles of use. Hey! for the cost of oil, its good insurance.
