What oil is it? Oil companies use anti-foam agents that control this. Sodium is one sucj additive. I have also seen where oil stabilizers actually hinder an oil's ability to remain stable (counter-productive).

Another possibility is an overfilled crankcase, which would cause cavitation and foaming.

Overfilling is a very real possability.
If the oil is so high the crank is slapping into it, you will get thousands of air bubbles.

there is soap in your oil pan. using dish detergent in your motor is a great idea... the dish detergent provideds a much smoother lubrication for the pistons
