Hi Larry,

After installing the engine, I filled it with 8 quarts and calibrated the dipstick accordingly so the amount of oil is correct. I'll check the breather and PCV valve, but it has done this since it was new, so this isn't something that just started happening. I do have a second breather cap I can swap to see if there is any difference, but I wouldn't expect different behavior. I'm just not sure if this could be a symptom of something harmful or if this in itself is something to be concerned with.

Kevin
