I guess my question is when I do the thumb thing with the cap attached is it suppose to kill the engine? If it is then what does it mean if it doesn't kill the engine? That is what it looked like the guy was doing in the videos that were posted.

Also I wanted to add that there is no smoke at idle or when I excelerate except if I really need to put my foot into it, then I get the usual black smoke but it goes away as soon as I lift again. I have fixed all of my fluid leaks so I know I am not directly leaking oil onto the ground anywhere.
Be careful doing the test by plugging the line. You can cause a blown seal from pressure build up. If the engine does not die, that is a good thing. IF the oil cap does not dance that mean zero to very little blowby.
