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?

Forgot
about that, Al. I did not have the relieve valve when my oifilter blew the
gasket.
Nevertheless, this
should not happen under normal condition. After I fixed the oilcooler problem,
it never happened again, and I still do not have a relief valve in the ground
testing engine.
