Post-breakin update time. Have one loose rocker (you can hear it in the vid initially) and one small oil leak from the front of the motor. Cant tell where that is coming from yet. NO rear main oil leak so I'm glad to see I did that right. Used the graphite rope seal. I did it in 3 or 4 sessions since I was doing it by myself and shutoff when the temp started to climb. Upon the final leg the oil pressure needle decided to leave this world. I hope that is not going to be a pricey fix. Noticed on the final leg everything must've started to be happy with their new home cuz the temp remained pretty stable. I flogged on it pretty good and I have to say (with the exception of the loose rocker) it sounds pretty badass thru the RA manifolds.
