Thanks for asking. Still only have 800 miles on it Stored in my heated shop for winter. Just got back from Maui. I had the shop at 45 degree's. No block heater etc. fired right up one revolution. Runs awesome.
The mileage came up to 8+ where it was down to 5-6. No oil usage at all. No blow by.
Power is the same, maybe slightly better,defiantly better when it spools up. wasn't really bad before
After the last run to Leavenworth WA. it had a tinny coolant leak (drip) at the Water pump area. It turned out I had to tighten one hose clamp. I double clamped all hoses when I reinstalled the engine.
I did take a short test drive after I replaced the Retarder sensor, it is also fixed.
Can't wait to hang the race car trailer on it, and go racing, going to be a few months.
Picture of it rolling along on flat ground, no tail wind, no tow car. 1700-1800 RPM's is the sweet spot, 63 MPH.
Cheers, and thanks for all your help
