David...something tells me you have the right watch for your locale. 
Rodknock..."time" is all we have. The rest is but a dream. 
I guess I bypassed a lot of concerns by getting my motor built locally. Lucky to have a master (Joe Boghosian) five miles away. Told me he'd beat me to death with his one good arm if I ever so much as took a valve cover off of "his" engine. He still sets the valves and adjusts the timing, etc. Despite being an aggressive big motor, the only real trouble over the years (as I laid out here before) were the collection of worn out/broken bronze gears resulting from the solid roller cam I had him start with. Since switching back to a big flat tappet a few years ago...runs like...
...well, a clock.
