Default Dipstick raises

I've seen this addressed somewhere on the forum, but couldn't find it so wanted to ask the question.

My dipstick raises up on its own - typically only 1/4", but that is just enough for the cap to clear the tube. I know this has to do with pressure in the engine but not sure if I should be concerned or just leave it alone?

My set-up:
427 side oiler
PCV valve on one valve cover; breather on other
Single Holley 750 carb
