    Yep, my VX is running again. Thanks for asking Sue!

    I only have about 250 miles on the new engine, so I'm in the break-in phase. Keeping it under 3500rpm and no 80mph driving. It's due for its second oil change once I hit 500 miles. The first oil change was immediately after the install and letting it idle for 4+ hours. After this next oil change it will be back on a normal schedule.

    So far, no obvious oil burning, but it's too early to really know that for sure.

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    Glad to hear you are up and running again, time to get some pics of that IFS kit in action...you have to beat me to it! Thanks again for emailing me the install instructions, got it all on there today, just gotta tighten everything up.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
