That is a very clean valve train, but dry as a bone.  I would adjust the valves, pour a 1/2 quart of oil over the entire thing, spin it with the plugs out until I had oil at the top of the head, then attempt to start it.

Thanks Mark. That’s the plan, although I need to figure out the valve adjustment procedure. I’ll search for that.

Pretty simple, just adjust the valves that are completely off the cam, with the bottom of the cam lobe facing the rocker pad.

Here's a tech article.
