That would be a great test and I was going to suggest doing that. However, maybe not just 1000 miles. You have your old tests. Run a few more...3000 miles, 6000 miles, 10000, etc, etc and see if notice any particular trend. Water is one, but maybe increased metal levels somewhere else if the moisture is causing corriosion, etc.

so link me to the bit you guys recommend lol. i havent bought the drill bit yet, just the tap so far. i have to use a smaller bit anyways to drill a hole lower and then connect it with the original since the hole sits so high on the valve cover. but link me to the bit that will make the final 5/8 hole the easiest

Mine did a 3/4" hole without the step on my VII VC. The steps are wider on mine than in the picture. Worked better than I thought. They sell them at Harbor Freight. I used JB Weld to glue the -10AN bung but now I wish I would of tapped it and used a threaded bung.
Another way to tell if you're venting enough is to hook up a cheap boost/vacuum gauge to the VC one of the vent tubes and make sure you're not building pressure inside.

here are the bits i use, but for what you plan on doing you are probably going to need to do it with a strait bit and a board clamped to it.

I used the one in the middle which explains why I did not stair step mine when doing a 3/4" hole.
I did not clamp mine down. The magnesium is like drilling through alum and it felt fine just holding it with one hand and drilling with the other. Clamp is always safer though.
