I made a few searches but nothing that gave me an answer I needed. Sorry

My problem is this: When I really get in it and take it up to higher rpm's(5000+) it pushes the dipstick out some. Just enough that a LITTLE oil will hit the valve cover. Not alot by any means but some and I want to know what I can do to fix this.

Here is a little background info and it did NOT do this before I done the following... Put new Cam, Rockers, Springs, and lifters in. Installed all new gaskets including HEAD GASKETS. Then a new TRICK FLOW TRACK HEAT intake, Throttle Body, Cold Air. Everything was done right in order to spec very carefully. I did re-route and tweak(LESS CURVE) my DIPSTICK tube some to allow it to share a VALVE COVER bolt instead of the hard to get to HEADER BOLT.

Ive read some places that the tube from filler cap to throttle body needs to be removed. Is this true? What do I need to do with it? Is there any other cause for this? ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED! THANKS!
