Any more problems with blow by, and pressure in the crank case? Sounds like you are getting her broke in.

Seems that when I put the correct breather on and got the vapor lock issue fixed, she's running great. Got a couple small leaks to fix, but that's the fun of it right? LOL.

you should be fine running on high test.....91 or 93 octane with no problems.....10.5 compression would be the limit for 93 octane since you have aluminum heads.......i am running 11.5 compression with a aluminum block and heads and thats the limit for 93 on mine

I realize that, I'm less concerned with the octane than I am about the 10% Ethanol I get around here. All the fuel has it, so I thought I would try a fuel without it.
