Default Is this excessive blowby ? Video included

Setup is in the signature. Could you guys listen and tell me if i need to be worried. Right now there is 215 compression across board, no exhaust blue/grey exhaust smoke, solid vacuum.
*also could you listen for engine knock please, im not very familar the sound difference between knock and loud tapping valves. Valves were adjusted by me about 6k miles ago.

Good God man, learn how to adjust your valves.

Also, ummm, everyone's oil will shoot out if you take the cap off. If you have excessive blowby, your dipstick will pop out in high RPMs.

That sounds & looks normal to me. The tick is definitely top end. Do you have an aftermarket cam? I'm only asking because I have heard that some cam grinds cause the valve train to make a bit more noise than a stock cam would.

It wouldn't hurt.

Honestly that doesn't sound all that bad. I have heard a lot worse. Sometimes they just tick a little bit.

I thought air pumping out like that is normal with the oil cap off while engine is running???

You'll have to do a leakdown test to really find out if you have cyl wall tapered or loss tension of compression rings.
