Chief, funny you say that as I had the same thought yesterday.
Engine is back together and leakdown is better, 10% on all 8. Made more hp and tq than before too.
Oil came out the dipstick still but when we put a long hose over the tube so someone could check for pressure while in the dyno room on a pull, nothing came out and there was no pressure either.
I'm going to cap off the tube and keep an eye out for any leaks elsewhere. Hopefully as there's no pressure it will be ok.
It made 546hp and 597tq @32 deg.
