I checked the valve lash as best I could. But I am slow. So a hot engine becomes a cold one. But they seemed to be in spec. The noses of the cams looked like the flat tappet shim *over* bucket VW engines I used to have at 100,000 miles. And they would easily go 200K on the valvetrain. These are direct acting shim under bucket, but otherwise quite similar.

I really don't know. I will do a leakdown, although it seems to run fine. After that, I will just keep an ear out. And an eye on the pressure warning light. And I should check that to make sure it is working correctly.
