so does your catch can vent to the atmosphere or to the manifold? if its to the manifold as i suspect then that sound like your problem to me
the catch can if properelly designed should seperate the oil from the air and not cause any problems for your motor

What makes you think that a "massive amount of crank case pressure" causes the rear mains to leak. I have 2 small blocks, both have leaky rear mains.

well it blew heaps o oil out the side dash tubes when running... then we restricted the catch can tubes to dash 8 and it seems to be worse so this tells me that there is pressure???
motor is 1200k old

does it push the dipstick out due this pressure issue?
Id be doing a leakdown test to isolate potential issues, venting to a catch can with minimum -8 hose should be fine.

I would be giving it a compression test, may have a broken piston land or ring
