series 3 2.3 diesel

Having trouble with a 2.3 diesel. Keeps blowing oil out of the breather . engine has had new rings and the bores honed, the crank has very little wear on it , new pressure relief valve on the oil pump.using 10/40 oil . all new gaskets went into the rebuild. cannot work out what the problem is. any ideas ?

Forgetting the dipstick, exactly how much oil did you put in it?

thank you

With cap off is It a proper blow you can feel with your hand or oil drops splashing out when engine running , oil gets pumped to rocker shaft and each rocker so not unusual for oil to get splashed about as that would be normal lubrication
