How bad is it?

So I have a hydraulic roller cam... Not sure if that's good or bad news. I did completely drain the engine and washed it out with oil. I use a shop vac at first to suck all the liquid out of the cylinder and valley. I threw away the cork pieces that sealed the fore and aft part of the intake. I just used a thick bead of silicon ( as advised by members on this forum). I had a spare pair of intake gaskets so I just swapped those out. I let all the silicon cure over night so I'll attempt to start her up this evening. When I reinstalled the intake the bolts all threaded in very nicely and felt like they torqued down properly whereas before, the section that leaked gave me a little trouble threading in the bolts however, I thought there was a good seal. I guess all that's left is to try and start her up. Am I missing anything?
