I over filled the engine oil to the point were it id 1/16" above the last "L" were it is stamped full on the dip stick. Also the car had sat more than 12hr sense It has been run last. Do I need to put a small tube and siphon it the excess out??

i'd just crack the drain plug and let the excess oil out

Dave, you don't have to drain off that small amount. In the ZR-1 owner's manual they tell you to go over a bit if you are doing a HPDE track session.

1/2 qt extra...I'd be tempted to drive it since the LT5 tends to use a little oil under hard use or long trips.
