Default It's the rings seating in...

Be sure your breather is on the driver's side, PCV on the passenger's side. And be SURE NOT to use synthetic oil for the first 3 to 5 K miles (depending on who you believe.. I am going for 5 k upon reflection)

My motor breathed heavy mist until about 2k miles, including puking some out of the dipstick area, until I went with a billet/o-ring type. Much better, no mist or weepage on the valve covers at all, now that the rings are seating
