This is a well known problem with this engine.

Common practice is to recirculate the oil, i.e. it goes into a breather tank and is then allowed to drain back down into the sump.

ProTec Motorsport in Preston used to sell an off the shelf kit to do this.

I have this engine in my car (see Projects section), and have a breather tank that recirculates to the sump.

I’ve a feeling SBD Motorsport even have some drawings of the breather system design on their website.
