Im going to take it apart today and look for any damage. I only have under a gallon on it so hopefully its still pretty tight.
I don't think you should worry much, I have almost 3 gallons through my 5 port and I've overheated it now 3 times, twice before the 1.5 gallon and one more at 330deg at the last RC Pro race a week ago and this sucker is still tight, hard to turn it by hand but still get to turn it tho, but I think you should be fine, what fuel do you run? I run 16% oil content so I guess that helps too but if you run like 11% or below well that could be a different story.
