I will add that my senses were on high alert the whole time, waiting to hear/feel/smell the 1st hint of the crankshaft snapping in half, the ring and pinion exploding, the oil turning to jelly or some other catastrophic event ending the fun and games. Nary a hiccup.......
I thought I was the only one who did that!

I think about 125 miles is the most I've put on mine in one trip.
