Yeah, you're absolutely right on that one. I'm sure it's an overfill issue. I'll just drive it around and burn the excess off, pretending it's a formula 1 car on startup.... I'm working on getting the PIDs for my dash command software so i can pick up Oil pressure from OBDII, but everything else looks fine. Unfortunately the only oil reading i have available in the car is the temp (which could indicate a failure of some sort, but it's not reliable for pressure readings).

I'd rather be paranoid and have a working car instead of negligent with a broken one. Ideally I'll do the gasket, oil pump, and timing chain all at once in the future.
