If you feel the need (probably should) you can check for oil pressure. Its the small rusty one in my pics, if you look u can see where the oil travels up and past that bolt then drips/pours i have no idea how much on to the cam where the orings are. If you take it right out you'll know pretty quick if its getting oil up there.
I suppose u could run it for no more than 10 seconds or kick it over a few times w/switch off. Just dont forget to put the bolt back in!!!
Shep
Did u use rtv or a new side cover gasket when u replaced it?
