Has anyone else had a problem with the oil dip stick pushing out a few inches? I rebuilt the motor and have about 1000 miles on the engine. The oil is going everywhere and ruined the ceramic coating on my headers.

Sounds like you've got a blocked crank case breather tube, and the pressure is pushing the dip stick out.

Sounds like your crank case isn't venting properly. What's your PCV setup?

The engine is stock except for the headers.

I'd check your PCV valve...Gen 3 or Gen 4? I know where to look on the Gen 4, but not as familiar with the Gen 3...

What did they gap the rings at?

I will need to check the build sheet for the ring gap.
