I'm not sure what you mean by "10w oil up to lifter level". Did you fll the engine with oil till it filled up the cam gallery? If I recall correctly, the main seal involves a slinger. Oil filled above the crankshaft level would not be good for running and would leak out when stopped.

It shouldn't have more in it than the high mark on the dipstick, but perhaps I don't understand what you mean.
