Great summary, I can relate having just done the same on my 3.2 :-)

I was extra paranoid about the 5mm allen socket falling down the sparkplug hole so I plugged the hole before installing the rocker shafts, and put a bit of masking tape around the allen bit so it would fit tight in the socket head.

I also had a lot of fun with the ring filing, probably the most time consuming part of the build getting all the rings gapped properly. I would highly recommend practicing filing with one of the old sets of rings before starting on the new set. It takes some time to learn the right technique to get a nice square edge with the inexpensive ring filers.
