I had the same thing happen....you're probably pressurizing the crank case. I lost a cylinder and as a result blew the valve cover gasket.

Do you have a breather anywhere on the engine? Any kind of catch can or something? I can't believe that it would blow the valve cover gasket before it would blow the dip stick out. It think you should look into a crankcase evac kit from moroso or mr. gasket.
