Over the weekend I put about 500 miles of towing on the car with no obvious signs of issues such as leaks from the valve cover or the front/rear seals.
By next weekend I'll likely have about 1,000 miles on the project and I plan on taking it apart and see how things look inside.
I was also planing on making something to check crankcase pressure, but before moving had with that I figured there's a first quick test to try: TDIwyse pointed me to a finding in his test that the vapor that you can observe escaping the crankcase at idle by removing the oil fill cap actually gets sucked in when you apply throttle. Although this won't tell you how much vacuum you have, a similar observation would confirm that the crankcase is under vacuum...
Stay tuned if you're interested...
