Default Blowing the Dipstick

I have a 2000 Ultra, I had the 95 ci kit put in right away, then put a JIMS 116 ci in about 2 years ago. Early on I would blow the dipstick occassionally, with the 116 ci it seems to happen more often. It does not happen when I get on it taking off for some reason, but seems to happen when I am going about 70mph and crack the trottle, does not do it all the time but once is too often!! Not a good feeling to smell oil burning and look in the rear view and see a cloud of smoke behind you. I know guys with stock engines and guys with 95's and it happens to all of them - anyone got a fix?

I would check out your crankcase vent system , you may find that it is not working properly, someplace to start at least.

I wouldnt say it happens to all of them, The only time ive ever heard of this is when someone over fills the oil res. Also if your crankcase breather is plugged?

I have a friend who has a Screamin Eagle 103 Roadking that was blowing the dipstick. Caused by faulty breather like mentioned above.
