A bad PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve can lead to increased pressure in the crankcase, which might create enough force to push the dipstick or dipstick tube out of the block. However, this issue is typically more indicative of other problems, such as excessive blow-by or a clogged crankcase ventilation system. It's essential to diagnose the root cause of the pressure buildup to prevent further engine damage. Regular maintenance and inspection of the PCV system can help avoid such issues.
