    Catch can wont help your cause unless something is blocked and hoses for the catch can will relieve the buildup.

    If motor was rebuilt my bet is dip stick o-ring is a little worn out. Dont forget you will always get blow by, condition of rings and bores dictates how much blow by.

    Oh and just because it was rebuilt doesnt mean who ever did the rebuild did a good job.
    Insert witty comment here....

    retaining the dipstick will cause the engine to pressurise and blow out gaskets and seals sometimes the factory pcv valve in the manifold wont cope when the engine is worn so a catch can will fix that or the cam cover baffels could be blocked up with carbon shitt and so then pressurising till the dipstick blows out with the engine off and the oil cap off c if u can blow through the hose fitting on the cam box eaisily if u can the the engine is fuct to much blow by just drive it till it dont start
