im actually havin the exact some problem right now....I put some new copper head gaskets on..and problem occured..not only was it coming out of the dip stick, but you may want to check the pcv valve...it is right behind the intake manifold, and it pops in and out....well i replaced that, and it still smoked like there was no tommorow..so now its in the shop either gettin breathers or possibly new rings...and i have exhaust vortech s trim...and ford racing 3.55's... and my block is brand new as well as bein bored .30 over..so yea you may wann check your rings..lots of luck...

ORIGINAL: Jedahu

I checked compression across all cylinders...was good...no coolant leaks. heads were brand new with gaskets. only major runtime the car has had was on the dyno at Anderson ford and at a new Dyno in Poplar Bluff..no real street time...anything else be the cause...maybe just get a dipstick with a tighter seal??
I'm no expert here but it could be the rings have not seated fully just yet and that is letting excess blow-by get past the piston rings causing the postive pressure in the crankcase which is blowing the dipstick out of the tube. the only other option I know of to correct this is to install a racing style vacuum pump on the engine and vent the pump back to the oil separator you said you have.

I run two pcv valves inline but i've also heard that as long as the valve covers are ventilated you dont need the pcv valve. They plug them.
