KZ750 engine bench start was created by bonehead

I have a running engine! I've posted a video of the monumental event at:

boneheadmotorcycles.com/KZ750_movies.html

Question for all you that have rebuilt these engines...
Does it sound right? I have nothing to compare it too.
I'll be doing a compression check, sync the carbs over the xmas break.

Thanks!
They were sand blasted using a cheap handheld Harbor Freight tool, wiped down with acidtone and spray painted with engine paint. So I hope the look lasts for awhile.
Can you or should you, clear coat engine parts?
