I have a full-flow filter on her and have just been going by the 
dipstick marks.  After I check the valves tomorrow, I will redo the 
compression check on the 1-2 side and see what I get.
After that I think I might switch back to the standard oil filler tube 
and add a pinched hose to the downdraft tube and see if that makes any 
difference.  She is also due for an oil change so that will make this a 
good time to swap the oil filler tube and check the rest of the 
condition of the engine.
