    A new Prob on the mav. I got down hard on the car in a long right corner and threw out some oil from the cap, and yes thats understandable the way i was pushing the car in a long! turn.
    Now here's the proplem, i'm getting what i call excessive crank case pressure. I pulled the rocker covers off to look at the oil returns thats good, And the plugs all look good the same. The car still runs good??

    Check your PVC and make sure it's working.

    Some blowby is normal. How much blowby you're willing to live with is the real question. And to prevent what happened before, stop driving the car like that, unless you're doing it on a race course.
