Sounds a happy engine. It'll appreciate a bit more back pressure I think but it sounds like it's pretty well tuned already. Picks up nice from idle.

so I've ran it a few times, and always saw just the slightest wisp of smoke, and today I saw it came from the rocker cover breather. is this normal as it's not yet run in, or this not a good sign.
If I point the breather into the carb, the idle drops by about 100-150 revs

The revs drop because the engine is sucking air in through the port where the breather should be. As for the slight whisps of smoke, I imagine it's oil vapour. Nothing sounds out of order to me.

There will always be a bit of vapour/combustion gases in the crank case.

don't think so, because the carb has no filter of any sorts on it, just sucks straight out of the air
