Just the little expected things like re-torque of wheels or header bolts after a few heat cycles can grow into bigger issues if not completed. If I had the ability to shake it down with a few hundred miles and then just look her over I would go for it just for the trip. All items have a small percentage of failure and it takes many many parts to build a car so how lucky do ya feel? Nothing meant about any builder but all header bolts need to be checked regardless of who installed them. Checking all out after it heat cycles and a few miles just makes sense to catch a loose bolt before it becomes a problem.
