I little bit of normal build up is visible in 15 but I would love to hear that you've put lots of miles on your engine with no separator. It seems that some indicate if you run your engine at idle for 20 minutes and don't have such a device the engine will lock up from crust on the back of the valves. Can you share your experience? NOT TRYING TO START A LONG THREAD ABOUT OIL SEPARATORS. I REALIZE THERE ARE MANY. Thanks again for this great documentation.

At the time of swap I think I had 8k. I'd have to look at my records. I've had a standard elite engineering can since 700 and the reason 15 looks normal, is that it is. I got bored waiting for gaskets or something and cleaned the tops of the Pistons and then the side of the block etc
