Almost immediatly I noticed one of my heavy duty Aeroquip oil lines had burst.  Hmmmmm, the Oil Pressure reading never went over 75 and was around 35 when idle (as a matter of fact, at idle, it is usualy around 30).  I belive these reading to be in the normal ranges.

This is strange.  What type of hose?  If it is the Teflon/braided SS line it should take several hundreds of psi.  Is there not a pressure relief valve on the outlet side of the pump that limits the pressure to something like 150 psi?
