I have had this issue ever since my build, which also coincided with when I switched from an RSD round AC to the SE Ventilator.
My builder tells me that is the reason, and that the SE Heavy Breather will solve the issue.
Btw, I don't overfill my oil, and I just had the umbrella valves changed to the newer style ones, but that didn't help at all.
I'd like to hear which AC guys are running that have this oil puke issue.

I had a SC Ventilator which puked like crazy in comparison to the Fuel Moto Stage 1 AC I have on there now.
Now, since I did the sump check, I drained all of the oil out (was running harley dino oil) and refilled to the same level with amsoil (had it in the garage). Hasn't puked since.
Is it possible that synthetic oil does not expand as much under heat and conventional oil does? I am obviously no expert but this one simple change has seemed to put the problem to bed.

Just my thoughts but with the heavy breather, you would still be puking oil into your intake except it would just go into the intake tube and sucked into your throttle body so you wouldn't see it or have to deal with cleaning your filter. Of course, I could be completely wrong!
