Sounds good to me. I go by if all cylinders are within 10% of each other you are good to go.

Is it excessively smoky or is there a leak in the system somewhere?

First thing to check is for an air leak in the fuel line/system. Aerated fuel entering the VRO pump makes it cycle much faster than usual and as a result it pumps much more oil than it normally would.

Dave is an excellent source for good, quality information. He's helped me out several times.

Glad you found your problem and learned from your experience.
