Congratulations on your first start-up.
No leaks is a great start.

Every mating surface was carefully cleaned, largely with a "plastic razor blade" tool and many blades, along with brake cleaner and 99% isopropyl alcohol.
With winter snow setting in, I'm not sure when I'll be able to do the full break-in on the road. I'll update with status later.
