Checking the oil cold in the garage is very repeatable, and makes it much easier to see the level on the dipstick, especially when the oil is new and clean.The issue I have wirh checking oil when cold is basically its not what Ford recommends but I get the point you are making.
Also this so called high flow PCV fitting has no spring in it. There is nothing but an empty tube that threads on to valve cover.
The OEM fitting on the valve cover is the PCV valve, that's why there's a spring in it. The UPR check valve is built into the hose. The UPR fitting is just that, a fitting that their hose connects to.
Like I said before, there should be a PCV valve located somewhere between the passenger side valve cover and the intake manifold - all PCV systems are setup that way. Some cars (ie, Vettes) use a 1 mm fixed orifice, but the premise is the same, it's there to control the flow rate of the crankcase vapors into the intake manifold.
You said you blew on the UPR hose that has the check valve in it and verified it was flowing in the right direction. You said in post #175: "EDIT: also just blew on the hose and yes check valve was installed the right direction."
