-Looking under the car, there is a hole in the bottom of the air box, can anyone else confirm that this is open to atmosphere? It looks like I can see the clean side of the filter. The heads/ gaskets / mating areas look good, block and heads are dry.
If the engine is indeed hydrolocked with oil, it would be expected to have oil back up into the air box and have it coming out of the bottom drain. The good news is that the block and heads are externally dry!
