mijae if it pops idk about you but oil starts making its way around and causing to smoke in areas from that hole so im just trying to stop it from doing that.
my car doesnt burn a drop of oil, and power output is still matching healthy oem blocks per psi if not better in some cases. Even if i found it to be leaky rings idk why i would even do anything about it anyways, other then excessive pressure and it popping an causing oil ... hardly a reason IMO to pull and spend money for the same thing.
Just wanna let it breath some more. Ill try just throwing front one on a filter instead pf can, i believe the baffles in them are restricting.
18lbs in 90deg is going to be different than 18lbs in 55 deg as well as 18lbs at 0 elevation is going to be different than 18lbs at 3000ft elevation.

Might be worn o-rings on the dipstick?
If you went to atmosphere you might as well remove the PCV valve and replace it with at straight barbed fitting.
It's a M14x1.5 hole so should be easy to find something that threads in, I'm using one of these myself M14x1.5 METRIC to 12mm 13mm BLACK BARB PUSH HOSE TAIL Straight Fuel Pump Fitting eBay

That may help. Pay attention to any vapor spewing out the front breather after you do this, that would be a bad sign of excessive blow by/new engine territory. But your probably fine. You can always do the old spin the dipstick 180 degrees putting it in backwards as some have done, which seems to wedge it into place better.

Thats what i meant earlier. It doesnt pop out when i do this...only when i put it in normally it pops out. Ive been running with both lines to a catch can for about 1month now and still not a drop of oil in the can. I really only accelerate in a straight line now maybe thats why

I know for a fact that the dipstick o rings do deteriorate or need replacing after some miles / increased under the hood temps from a forced induction setup (causing the dipstick to pop out of place).
My car is a 2007 with 35k miles (previously boosted by the old owner) and the dipstick pops up (both when it was NA and now again when its turbo on 12 lbs).
I ordered a new dipstick from majestic Honda and will hopefully have good reports when its installed. (Im also running the radium dual catch can setup, and there isn't any oil in either of my cans yet).

i have never emptied my cans and one was half full and other maybe half cup. Been boosted for 15k. 99% of that was probably from the SOS kit hitting corners, shes really off balance now but loves a straight away.
