Although, I did get on it a few times up to 6-7k rpm and it seemed to run a bit rough after that in the lower rpm's for 10 min or so before I shut the car off. Then I went to start it up 2hrs later and it cranked for about 5 seconds before it fired and smelled like raw fuel for a few seconds. I've put some miles on it since then, but no problems have persisted. Thoughts?
Since you asked for thoughts and not guesses, here goes. I think there's no sense in worrying about what you could have done because the 90 has no exhaust valve seals. Oil leaks down into the combustion chamber and after high rpm runs will run a bit rough till it clears out. Mine does. So unless your engine has had seals added I'd suspect that. Try hard runs at 5-6k and see if it has the same symptoms. Mine runs fine at those rpms. Fist time I get into the heads the seals are going in.
