Does the PCV rattle when you shake it? I would suggest to just replace the PCV valve. But it could be that the rings just haven't seated yet.

I've read somewhere that 2.9L head cracks are often overlooked because of where the cracks typically occur.

Stressed.

How have you been?

The white crap is probably moisture, either just was there, or from the cracked head. I had about 1/4" of green sludge under my covers when I pulled them off and had a cracked head. The PCV valve sucks that crap/gasses out so that it doesn't turn into sludge later on. Keep an eye on your water level for sure.
