If you are sure the system is clear and not building pressure then I would bend the tabs on the oil filler cap slightly to increase their ability to pull the cap tighter.

Did you remove the plastic oil separator box on the side of the block and clear out the passages in it? I recently had a rear main seal blow out on one of our cars because of a restriction in the oil separator.
