Aside from this I have all idlers, tb, water pump.

Motor sat with coolant lines open for a bit, should I flush with anything before connecting all the coolant system hoses back up? The fact that the water pump runs with the TB concerns me a little. Water pump has an issue and poof, TB jump... another blown motor.
Watch out for the crankcase breather hoses! They're ridiculously brittle and will break on you if you tug on them. I just replaced my valve cover gaskets earlier today and ran into this problem. Fortunately, Kris Hansen has posted a tech article on this exact problem. You can see his article below.

Good luck!
