update: replaced the PCV valve, and the brand new valve had a much more freely moving valve inside than the existing one. the new one will move around when simply turning it upside down, the old one has to be forcibly shaken to get movement. i'm not sure if that is significant or not. by comparison, it felt like the old one was gunked up or something. i can't say if it was 'out of spec', but it would surely be more difficult for a pressure difference to actuate it, especially through a catch can. maybe that helps point toward a faulty PCV being my issue. Either way it was interesting to see the difference between mine and a brand new one. figured i'd share that.
for now i'm deleting the catch can and using a new PCV to see how things go. no leakdown or compression yet.
