I'd like the input from fellow track nuts who see high rpms often.

The pcv system is just that-- Positive crankcase ventilation. What causes excess oil in the top end? Many things.... excessive ring blow-by (compression/leak down tests req'd), wrong restriction in block to head oil galleys (verry uncommon), over filling the crankcase (aka oil pan-- verrrry common)
Is the upper end pcv unaltered? More info req'd....

^ It's just a thin coating, nothing crazy. Just now that I have it appart wondering what I can do to make it better.
I'll just get a nice catch can for the valley cover PCV line.
