Ditto on both counts
I have to say it was an awesome moment
But mine took a tad long than yours
That was a very quick rebuild !!

If all goes well, I will be at the dyno two weeks from tonight. With my harness issues sorted, I completed a 30 min+ run-in with a ZDDP break-in additive and then changed the oil and filter. Oil looked great with very little metallic content (essentially non-existent). The motor has a cool sound, a bit "tinny" and I really like it. My radiator leak fixed itself as it was just dried out seals. I had a small coolant leak by the turbo that turned out to be a bad hose (pin hole). At this current moment I do not appear to have a single oil or coolant leak
Trying to get everything ready to go down to the FL gathering next weekend. The trip will essentially be a break-in trip. Driving down with Josh B and a few other guys. Should be a lot of fun.
