Such a great thread. One rarely sees a thread where you have:

1 - Useful tech knowledge
2 - Saving money on tools
3 - Humorous anecdotes

Love it ….

A bit older post, but I didn't see clarification.
Single barb fitting with no other holes, or holes sealed, (measuring with the system sealed) is to measure crankcase vacuum and AOS function.
Measuring with additional holes in the cap,of specific size, is to measure blow by.

Oil filler cap should have single hole with single barb fitting. My used manometer used 1/8 inch barb fitting. Drilled and tapped filler cap for pipe thread and screwed in fitting. Be sure manometer is set to inches H2O. Put cap on engine and start, then read value on manometer.

I know, I was referring to the fact that some caps shown have additional precision holes drilled, which are used to measure Blow By (different from crankcase vacuum and AOS function).
There are two tests that can be done with slightly different cap configurations.
