It's a good thing you've taken it slow in programming the EFI, without venting the engine, one good throttle romp and you'd have blown every seal on the motor.

Valuable lesson here for everyone. Take your time, double check, solve problems, and then stomp on the go pedal.

I noticed it when I tried to add oil the first time just after the first start. Most of the oil filling was done with an accusump, 2.5 quarts at a time!

I've leaned into it a little since then, and oil residue everywhere told me something still wasn't right. That's when I broke out the gauge and noticed 2 psi even with the vented breather.
