she ran fine all the way to the dragons tail, then up to cincinatti and all the way home. 2800 miles round trip. the only complication I had was a blown radiator hosein tennesee, and another self loosening hose clamp that drained my coolant on the ride home. 
it seems tobe running a bit lean. I think I might be pinging a bit. so Im going to invest in a knocksense in a couple weeks (payday) and try to finally get to the bottom of it.
of course, the sounds I am hearing might just be a nasty exhaust rattle. so here is to hoping..
since this page needs some color, here are a couple snaps of my engine bay from the cincinatti trip.

Took the rocco to a car show today, and got rained on pretty hard. despite the poor weather there was still a pretty decent turnout. it was a judged show, and the spectators were each given a ballot for best in show award.
I got best of the 80's, best vw/audi, and spectators choice. 
there was some very slight rounding on the corners of the crank. I used a new bolt and a ton of red locktite on it. hopefully that will hold. if not, I have another crank I can use.
