65 Barracuda daily driver

Merry Christmas and thanks for all your help! Aside from the valve train noise the engine runs pretty good, so I hope it's gonna be that bad. I marked the dipstick in mid-October, so since then it should have been close to ok, maybe a touch overfull. Who knows how long the previous owner drove around with low oil. Going forward it's definitely good to know where it needs to be. Apparently bad lifters and cams has been a general problem recently, so I wasn't even that surprised. Yes, it could be that the heat crossover block-off raised didn't allow it to seal. I did use sealant, but I was afraid I might have used a bit too much?! I will cut out the area from the new gasket to make sure it seals. The china walls were RTV'd and those actually sealed well. Anyways, now I know almost everything there is to know about rockers and soon I might even be able to install an intake without leaks haha.
