Just got everything running with my mustang, and it's now profusely burning oil. It feels way slower than it should. There is some kind of ticking sound from what is likely a bent valve on the drivers side. I have to remove the engine, pull everything apart, and have it completely remachined. It'll be about 2 months before the car is running again. There are some good things about this, though. It'll be bored .030 over, and rotating assembly will be fully balanced. It's irritating, but in a few months, my very first car will be running great!
