Might be high internal case pressure from not enough breathing/ventilation, blocked breather or worn engine.

Depends

WHY do you have crankcase pressure
Sure all motors have some
Even stock. That is why they have a breather hose.

What set up do you have at the moment for crank case relief?

looking at some pics of your motor the only relief i can see is a small than stock braded hose going down

Is that it??
Are your rocker covers vented??

If that is all you have i am guessing that is your poblem
