Checked my oil catch can after a few hundred miles. No oil/water sludge in it. Only mild discoloration of the can bottom and baffle and the smell of gasoline. That is what I hoped for but not what I expected. Repairing the PCV Valve must have helped. But the lesson really is that I do not have much blowby. This engine is very healthy.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
