you will get that with high power/high rpm motors. Might check your EGR valve and see if its working properly? Maybe that could have something to do with it you could also pick up a locking dipstick & tube from jegs or summit i know a lot of people at my local track use them on their lsx motors. Be careful u don't want it to blow out and u get a piece of dirt or something down in there that wouldn't be a good day. lol

do a compression check,you probably have some ring blow by.you probably have high crank case pressure. a crank case Vacuum pump can band aid the problem.or rebuild the engine.

Ditto that. To much crank case pressure is usually the cause. Def do a compression test cause you may have some bad piston rings.

Agreed, only reason I can think of for blowing the dipstick is too much crank case pressure. Is your PCV deleted with it all capped off & no breathers? You gotta watch that crank case pressure cause if you just toss on a "locking dipstick" like suggested and there is nowhere else for the pressure to go its gonna start pushing seals out to escape.

Case & point, my dipstick tube isnt even bolted in, its hanging loose. Has been for over 3yrs & I daily drive mine. I have above stock compression & my tube never moves. I have the AIR/EGR delete done but my PCV is still in place. Never had a single issue.
