Todd,
Yes, I did get some hard runs during breakin, nothing excessive though. I am getting a good deal of oil seeping out around the exhaust flange where my headers bolt up, no its no coming from the header stud. It's getting better the more I drive it, so by the time I return from BG, hopefully it will be to a minimum. The final hone on my liners was done with a really good honing machine and a deck plate was used. Hopefully this will resolve itself. Good luck with the build, can't wait to see the final product!! .
