I am running it with the front and top engine covers off (so I can check the power steering reservoir and easily check the engine), the top up (don't want to fold it down directly over the engine) and the heater on full blast (to help get the coolant circulating) so it is rather hot and noisy.
I put the Durametric on it and the cam deviations are quite respectable, -5.63 and -5.53, better than the original engine.
So far it looks like my gamble on buying this engine is paying off.

Congrats on the successful shake-down! Those cam deviation numbers (-5.63/-5.53) are seriously impressive傭etter than the original engine is a win.
