blow by,

pushing oil past seals and valve covers... has anyone considered reversoing the rear main seal to keep pressure in rather then let oil be pushed out and onto the flywheel clutch area? just curious.

It is already designed to hold pressure. If you reverse it, the seal will leak worse. The only seal reversal I've heard of is when using crank vacuum pumps to keep the seals from letting air in.... they now make special seals for this as well.

Fix your blow by problem...... the seals will be ok.

Make sure you've routed the hoses correctly and that you don't still have the hose going from the side of the TB to the passenger's side valve cover.
