That's the breather pipe, and you do have blowby. The air comes in through the oil filler cap, and is moved by the crankshaft rotation to force the air out the breather pipe. If you're gonna re-ring it, you might as well get the valves done, and if you're doing the valves, you might was well put new bearings in it, and if you're gonna do that...... You get the idea!
