If it were me, I'd just keep driving it as long as it's not loosing
coolant and overheating or getting coolant inthe oil. It's kind of a
weak motor but unless you pull heavy a lot it should be fine. As I
say, I pull heavy with mine and run too much boost and too much fuel
but I have a boost Gauge and pyrometer. It's very important that your
exhaust temp stays below 1200 degrees at all times so gauges are a
must. One thing you may try is replacing the thing on the valve cover
that looks like a tuna can on it's side. This will probably help with
your blowby issues somewhat. Watch oil level, condition of oil and
coolant level and temp and you should be ok unless deeper problems
have already developed. Honestly I like mine and will keep it until
the body falls off. Good luck and keep me posted
