I should have mentioned, when putting the valve covers on, drizzle oil over the heads and you would ensure oil is everywhere.
I know on older engines there are ways to "prime" the oil pump with a drill motor (not sure how one would execute that with these cars). Honestly, I don't think there is much to worry about. If you still need to do an oil change, make sure to put some oil in the filter when you spin a new one on.

Not yet lol
It is running though! I got the CE light a few minutes after I fired it up

Any thoughts?
Also how do I bleed the brakes?
Do i just loosen the nipple on the calipers and have someone press the pedal till the fluid comes out? Lol

Seems like the o2 sensor didn't heat up, did it take a few tries to start the car? Did it start, cut off, start, cut off?
Try clearing the code and seeing if it comes back. Could just be a fluke for right now that the o2 sensor didn't warm up enough before you shut the car off?

It started on the first try
but I shut it off after like 3 minutes when I saw smoke! 
but it was just the paint from the manifolds 
I guess the o2 sensor didnt heat up like you said and it threw the code I'm going to clear the code tomorrow, bleed the brakes and take it for a spin!
IDK about these but since you removed the master cyl you might actually have to go to a dealer or somewhere with a tech 2 to bleed the absunit
