You can accurately test the AOS by measuring the case vacuum at the oil fil cap. An old oil cap, a barbed bulkhead fitting, a short length of vacuum line, and a digital manometer off Amazon creates a tool that will tell you what's what in about 5 min. without mussing your hair, and then you can test it anytime you want.
