[DeTomaso] Mayonnaise on the dipstick

[Will Kooiman]

You also have to deal with oil spraying up through the holes in the lifter
valley.  It would be a mess.

The blow-by past the rings gets to the valve covers, and then the PCV
through a few tiny holes in the lifter valley.

How do I know?  No, I haven't running my engine w/out an intake, but I have
a hole in the lifter valley of my weber intake - for hidden vacuum lines.  I
don't have the vacuum lines, but I still have the hole.  I forgot about the
plug and started the engine - once.  It made a big mess in short order.

Nah... just use two misting spray bottles, each pointed generally in  
the direction of each bank of ports.  But then that would be sloppy  
and get fuel in the oil.  ;)
