Ok, so I have a new PCV, a catch can and my dipstick pops out a little, not fully but 1-2 notches. How else can I fix this?
 
Does it need a new oring? Old one might be to worn to hold it in properly. How do you have your catch can setup? I know you its a new pcv but did you make sure its workinf? New ones can be bad. Any oil in ic or intake pipe? Need a little more info. Also search and see what others have said and done. This has been covered before
 
Got quite a bit of blowby (tired compression rings and/or valve stem guides) and do the best of extracting that extra pressure.

Otherwise, you'll blow out both of the main crank seals if you hold that dipstick down.

Dipstick popping out is like a pressure relief valve helping to get the harmful pressure out.

Might have to look into an overhaul down the road.
