blocked flametrap. Get it clean pronto, else you'll start blowing a lot more than the dipstick out.

you're 340 looks cool!!!

Could you post some more pics or send us a link to some??

thanks

PS As above, the crankcase / flame trap / oil breather system is blocked or needs a clean... easy job and should solve problem for you.

The dip stick is the easiest or weakest point in the pressure system so its the first sign of blocked crank case system

all the best
