Rodney,
If I was you, I'd take fixit's recommendation and tear the thing down and do it the right way now..... and avoid the chance of it failing and requiring a rebuild to get it going agian. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish..... metal filings in the engine will cause harm to it..... and while your at it, check the valve springs too, chances are that they may be out of tolerance. If the engine has not turned over in two years.... the ones that were under compression due to cam lift can take on a permanent "shrink".
