I started with the BCS kit, so I have the sealing washer on the 
dipstick, and I put a screw in the hole in the oil filler cap (I didn't 
think solder would stick on the oily cap, and I wanted 'reversible' at 
the time). At idle, you can feel a vacuum if you put the palm of your 
hand over the oil filler hole (haven't tried it on the highway).
