Since you don't have water in the oil there is really only 2 sources you need to evaluate for pressure in the valve covers. The AOS is a source of vacuum not pressure. It is basically a regulator between the intake vacuum and the crankcase.

Thanks Monty. I had to go back and look, because I didn't remember you asking about the motor spinning backwards. Shonuff: you asked. I may not have seen it, as it is a "PS" at the bottom, which I might've dismissed as a sig-line. Either way: I appreciate that you were looking ahead for me. :-)
No, I haven't yet inspected the scavenge pumps. Any second now. haha.
Seriously, I haven't really had any time to do much of anything yet. I've got too much else distracting me right now. When I find a minute to work on the porsche, it's usually just that: a minute.
Hopefully after my business-related fires, my son's wedding, my daughter's Missionary-departure (we're Mormons over here :-) ) and my wife's various and sundry honey-do's... (that's Wife's, not Wives'... even though we're Mormons over here, haha).....
I'll get to it sooner or later.
