I meant to post this earlier, but I was busy and forgot.
 It’s just a little illustrative and quantitative evidence that it’s a good idea to change oil promptly after major engine work. My Dad is caring for the Mustang now and promised an oil change between 1,500 and 2k. I’m interested to see the silicon and other wear numbers come down.

Concerning the use of the manifold to valve seals (blue pieces or cork) I have not used these for years.
It is interesting to see what chemicals go up / down with the oil break down. I always cheange the oil after 30-45 minutes, then again after 1500 miles, and again after another 1500, it may cost a bit, but to me it is cheap insurance. In my new OEM cars, I always have done 500, 1500, 1500.

No news is good news, right?
3000+ miles since the operation, and it's been flawless. That's what I've been told anyhow.
