i would keep an eye out for an increase in oil spray out if the filler vent
tube (hopefully connected to an air cleaner)

you may notice oil running out of the air cleaner or an oily carb throat if
the misting is too much.

a pain in the ass to fix in the bus, but you dont need to remove the alt
and stand in this case, just get it up enough to get the plate and a gasket
in…. loosening the alt strap, shroud bolts (sides and doghouse) and
disconnecting the tstat should give you enough room.  i think
