Default Pressure in the head!?!?!?

Recently boosted my civic, cutting a long story short, my camshaft seal (cam gear side) popped out and oil leaked out. The camshaft seal was fine.
After unplugging the breather on the rocker cover, i noticed a lot of pressure in the head.

Car "seems" to run ok.

First thoughts are piston ring is worn or perished.

Could anyone shed any light...?

Thanks and regards,

Carlip.

You need more ventilation, endyn breather kit, ports welded onto valvecover.

excessive blowby is usually caused by messed up rings or ringlands. That is probably your problem.
