Part 2 of 2
[continued]
After 3 minutes, the bag was fairly full, so I stopped the test. I estimate it could have gone another minute before it really started to bulge.
As a final check, I loosened the oil fill cap and plugged the hose vent to do a "tea kettle" test. The cap buzzed around a little but not very much. This suggests minimum blowby (136,000 miles on the engine).
