Default Sucking oil thru PCV? Be Careful !!!

If you are sucking a lot of oil thru your PCV system you need to watch it.

I tried running PCV set-up with my new engine
was sucking ton of oil and building crank case pressure and pushing dipstick out
because small PCV hole could not keep up with extra pressures and windage

It un-seated the rings on one cylinder. Now I'm having to tear it down and re-ring it.

If you have a highly modded engine and its doing stuff like this, be careful.

You should probably switch to a header evac set-up like I'm going to do.
plus it makes more power !!!!!!

Alot of blowby? Worn Rings? Windage shouldn't cause that problem...Extra pressures from what?
