Most people tend to really baby the diesels so yours is likely no exception.
There's probably a lot of carbon around the rings and top of the cylinder. I
wouldn't have headed out to top rpm quit that suddenly as a ridge of carbon
at the top of the stroke could break a top, compression ring. It doesn't
sound
like you did though. :)
The engines are governed so you really won't over rev one but I wouldn't
drive it flat out all the time either. I do make sure to rap it out on a
semi
regular basis though. It'll blow the carbon out of the exhaust, off the
valves, out of the combustion chambers.
You may have a nearly plugged screen on the valve cover or you may
have a lot of carbon on the rings and they were almost sticking. Either
one will get better with time when using the correct oil. Which I think
everyone on this list does! :) The wrong oil will really leave a lot of
carbon all over inside the engine. It takes a little time for the detergents
in the right oil to clean it all out.
The first, watery black may have been from condensation in the exhaust.
