I run the braided dipstick, I notice mine working its way out this past weekend, and I run a pcv on one cover to the intake and a breather on the other, I think it's just the heat and vibration working it out as well. I think I'm gonna try a different oring in it, if that doesn't help maybe I'll check out that lokar deal.

From the reflection off the valve cover, it looks like the billet breather you are running doesn't have much ability to vent. Are there only 7 small  holes on the bottom?

He stated under a vacuum. I said "nope".

Don't you have some parts to peddle? No puke tanks?

 Actually a guy just picked up $250 worth of hydro parts from the thread on PB.  :P  And some of that stuff is going to long Beach too.

 Sorry, no puke tanks.  But for you I'll JB weld some garden hose to a Big Gulp cup and paint it all silver.   >:D

 I slid a 1 1/2" long section of vacuum hose over the base on mine, left it sticking up about 1/4" so the handle pushes down into it (if that makes sense). It adds enough tension to keep it from vibrating out. Might try it if the new O ring doesn't help.
