I haven't drained the old oil yet, but it just got bumped up on the list, pouring a qt over the cams makes sense.

I did drip about 15 drops of oil down each cylinder prior to turning it over by hand to TDC for the #1 piston so I could replace the timing belt and keep everything in proper positions.
She's going to smoke like mad at first start up. Planning to turn it over with the starter with the coil wire off once it's all buttoned back up to get oil circulating.

Lowering the engine was key to get the 50MM crow's foot socket on the pulley, a one inch drop made all the difference!

I appreciate the suggestions greatly!
