    All sounds fine to me. Nothing you describe sounds bad. the oiling is more than likley due to the low revs, and the overrun is normal. It is amazing what you here when you are listening....

    Have you put a drizzle of oil in the bore?? Do that before starting.

    I'd also push it up and down the road a few times in gear with the plug out to get oil round the engine and gearbox.
