That will tend to raise your crankcase pressure...

Now the big questions: why, and how to prevent it next time.

Now that is kind of impressive. In it own bad way.

I think that should be added to the busted slant Trophy.

I agree might be a one cylinder misfire of some kind.

Have you checked the rod journals to verify they are indexed correctly? The grinders tend to follow the crank throws, and few have the equipment to correctly index the timing of the throws. if that throw is early or late, it could play havoc with the tune on that hole.

Also, I've had cranks that have come out with errors in stroke. Engines that one throw with more stroke than another.

I take my cranks to a shop that specializes in crankshafts. He has been able to fix some that have been messed up by slandered machine shops. If iI don't find any thing else I will check it.
