so, did you lube the valves before you ran it? Personally, if it hasn't run in awhile, I would use Marvel Mystery oil for the first 2-3 lubes of the valves, and I would overdo it a bit. you cannot over lube the valve train, but you do get to a point where you are just wasting oil. However, if the old girl has sat for awhile, like I said, overdo it. You might even want to take the valve cover off and shoot each valve with oil, and turn it over to watch that they are all moving full travel.

You should oil the valves for the first start every day that you run it.

The other suggestions are valid, but before you go down a whole bunch of different paths, make sure the valve train is loose, lubed, and working.
