Too much crank case psi! Any ideas?

Not correct. At idle there is vacuum in the intake manifold and the PCV valve is open to the valve cover. So, the manifold will pull air out of the crankcase and air in through the vent hose. When boosting the PCV valve closes and the air flow reverses in the vent hose.

The PCV sometimes fails fairly quickly. I normally replace them about once a year or so. Much cheaper replacing PCV valves than the issues created by excessive crank case pressure.
If it's not the PCV, perhaps you do have a ring problem. I have seen it from new motors (mistakes were made).
