Yes, looks like the cap fixed the leak. We started it today and all is well.
A few people have told me now that cranking alone, especially with a 914 4-cyl starter, very likely may not bring pressure up to show it on the gauge. I did have oil at the banjos on the cam towers.
Oil pressure relief/safety valves and springs were replaced, parts supplied by Ollie's when they did the case work.
I also heard from a friend that it's not uncommon to have a fresh oil fill on a new engine pool into the sump.
We ran it for 20min at 2k rpm then shut it down and dumped the oil. After a full cool down and lunch we started again with fresh oil and filter and did the carb tuning. We think I didn't get the #4 valve adjustment right on because the airflow is low on that cyl. It was good enough to drive home though, the 6 feels great in a 914!
