Older engine?  Ha, yours is barely broken in.  Plus, it's a
JH, which is damn near indestructable.

All of my engines have over 200k.  None use appreciable
amounts of oil or any other fluid, and all see redline on a
frequent basis.  Just make sure your oil temp is at least
80 C before winding it up, and you should be fine.
