Phew. Enjoy. Are you going to try a longevity test? I am right behind you with the BobD at 83,500 miles now.

If it drives good, just keep driving and mopping up the blowby. As a matter of fact, try to keep it running a little hotter than usual to help burn off deposits that will begin to form in earnest. Intake valves will get caked, and so will the combustion chambers.

I hope to hit a quarter million miles with the original build. At the rate I am driving, that'll be next month.
