 Crank case pressure is a result of end gap size in the side
 seal to
 corner seal fit,
    the corner seal to apex seal fit and the
 corner seal to corner seal
 bore fit.

 I start side seal end clearance at zero. Replace at .0025"
 Use the old
 solid corner seals, not the ones with the rubber plug. Use
 the largest
 breather hose diameter possible.

I agree with Lynn Hanover on controlling Blow-By....  but I cut the corner
\seals for zero clearance a shown in the attachment to avoid locking
interference with the side seals.

Not a problem for a dry sump system. A little blow by helps.

I highly recommend it for any aircraft application as one can use a better
oil pump and up the oil pressure. Particularly with and aluminum front
housing where the stock oil pump is problematic.
