Are you saying it has alot of crankcase pressure? Blowby? If so, the rings are bad.

Is your crankcase breather obstructed? If the engine cn't breathe, you would get lots of pressure inside.

do a compresion check on all eight cylinders, you not looking so much for how much pressure but uniformity, make shure there all pretty close together, and go from there. Good luck! DW
