Re: Crankcase pressure; oil pool in valve cover

Thanks for the ideas guys. I'm leaning toward the timing being off. With the Crower cams I had in for over 6000 miles I didn't have this problem and the only thing I changed when it started happening was swapping the Crowers for some stock cams. I'm almost positive the cam marks are lined up (relative to each other) but I'm second guessing wether the crank could be off a tooth. I've had the valve cover off two times since the problem started and the most recent time I used all new gaskets. It's not really a slow leak, it's forcefully coming out (it blow out the end cam twice). Plus I don't know what else would cause the compression to be so high. I can't seem to find anybody with compression in that range. I'm going to check the timing this weekend and I'll let you guys know what I find.
