I only drove my car for about 3 months & 2K miles on the new TOB before my car was totaled, but I never experienced any issues you're describing.
if I get another 86, I'm definitely getting an '18 or newer to [hopefully] avoid the defective TOB.

Sorry that you lost your 86 -- especially after putting all that work into this job -- I hope you're ok!
I'm probably just being overly sensitive to noise. It's definitely a lot healthier sounding and feeling than when the original TOB went bad. That high-pitched whirring and squealing got progressively louder, and the pedal action was really noticeably crunchy. Time will tell how well this updated TOB holds up. I'm hoping it's a lot more than 40,000 miles.
