300E smog

Yes it should be. All 20 components checked like catalytic converter PCV EGR Vacuum sensors oxygen sensors says ignition timing is N/A due to computer controlled etc etc. passed without incident. I did a smog background on it and for the past 12 years or so it passed. I bought it at auction as a salvage so i need smog and lamp and brake to get plates. I had head gasket replaced, head resurfaced, tune up done .I filled it with cheveron supreme and drove it home from mechanic. It just runs 20 ppm over on the 25 mph at 1615 rpm test. It did probably sit for a couple years. Do I just need to drive around a bit more to clear out the crap from sitting? I have noticed there is still some sludge residue in the coolant from the head gasket blowing so Im taking out the radiator today and flushing it but I didnt really think that would make it fail.

Any opinions you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
