Engine prep for swap

I don't know if I have posted this before, but I will tell you that I discovered that after I let it learn for a while, I turned the self learn lower RPM limit up some. I found that sitting at a stoplight, or crawling while offroad, the pull on the engine from the automatic transmission would make the ECM adjust fuel trim and IAC to keep things at the idle set point. And it would get worse with the A/C on, since there is no idle bump up for A/C. So depending on what I am doing, I will set the learn RPM to 750 to 1100 RPM. My normal idle speed is 675 to 700. (I get a panel vibration in the dash or cluster if I go lower.) The higher learn rpm helps keep the idle solid.
 
Is anyone running this with a manual transmission?
 
I have put over 500 miles on this thing since install and now I have to change rear main seal
It divided to start peeing oil everywhere it goes....

So how much oil do you pull out if it? And how often?
 
every oil change i drain it its never enough to fill a water bottle it pulls mostly moister out of the oil.
There is a little oil but mostly moister.
And if your pcv fails when you pop the hood and check at a glance you can see the level of it by the clear tube
 
timing chain cover got jelly of the oil pan and decide to start leaking...................i hates it................
