    Default sr dip stick blowing

    noticed this since i put on my brothers old rocker cover he had which was doing the same,

    the vent pipes arnt blocked though,

    had the car out and wen going sideways and stuff she was sucking oil out of the vent and going into the intake,

    so i just blocked the hole for the crank case vent on the intake pipe and stuffed my breather pipe into a can,

    but do u need to run a catch can to suck the pressure out because the dip stick seems to be coming up

    Sounds like a broken ring land. I think you should do a % leak down test asap to avoid further damage.

    Nope as oil in between the rings will give a false positive on the comp test. Leak down is the only way.
