I didn't polish any of the return paths, it's just so voluminous I didn't
even think of it. Before rebuild I rarely ran it to 3500, factory redline is
4500. With the work I did it should be happy at 3000, so I'll likely spend
more time 3000, 3500. But in stock trim, and with this RV cam, torque falls
off around there so there's no point.

60 psi idle, 80 psi at 2500 - 3000, I think I'm fine.

When I adjusted the valves at 1000 rpm, the oil flow there was good but not
excessive, no squirting etc, just a nice small bead flow out of all the
right holes etc.

Fixed the exhaust leak (had no donut, now does), think I got the OD enabled
again, changed the startup water to real coolant.

Just getting miles on it now.
