Rewrapped!!!
Get a suitable length of valvecover hose and at one end fit
a low pressure gauge (perhaps on a tee if running engine) or
directly in the end if just cranking engine. Fix other end
to the valve cover and say crank ten times to check sump
pressure. Compare with another engine (maybe another poster)
to see if you have relatively high sump pressure. Experiment
for best technique. These  readings could be shared forum
wide as a test of state of rings etc...
