It won't need mapping again, a quick checkover on a good rolling road wouldn't hurt though. It's nearly two years since I last had it on my rollers, so with new oil/oil filter/fuel filter and a check-up on the rollers you should be good as new
The chatter is very loud and pigeon-like with that stainless intake pipe!

Re: k797eoo restoration project
Just out of curiosity which type and grade of engine oil did you use in there or that you could recommend?
So the chatter echoed in the intake pipe cool.

Re: k797eoo restoration project
I started off using a hairdryer mate but then took to jays technique of using a hammer and chissel and breaking it off in chunks which seemed far easier and much more comfortable considering how hot it was the day i was doing it. Sitting in the boot with a hairdryer running was the last thing i wanted to be doing
Anyway heres a link if you want to see the process
