Really, 25% isn't bad? On the instructions of the MAC Tools tester, I believe it said anything over 10% is cause for concern.

I did buy a brand new dipstick last fall. Boosted her to about 26psi again and it popped out spewing oil all over the motor again. I was not happy. For the last race, I wired it in there so it wouldn't come out but that was merely a bandaid fix. I want to fix the source of the problem.

Believe me, I don't even want to re-ring the motor! Just seems like alot of work for what the project actually is. I thought about putting bigger fittings on the valve cover like a 6 or 8AN fitting size and into a different catch can than what i have. Any thoughts on this?
