I think that is awesome for 300K.

I had 250k+ on my 83, and when I rebuilt it at 200K, the only real problem I had was oil pressure. The bearings wer egg shaped, and down to the copper. The steel crank was in good enough shape to reuse. Just a touchup at the machine shop is all it needed.

Those numbers are great. Did you follow up with a wet compression test?

Right after completing the dry test, you do it all over again, except add a couple ounces of motor oil to each cylinder just before you test it. Compare the wet results with the dry results, and it will tell you the condition of your rings.
