[FlyRotary] Re: Good, bad news...too much oil pressure
somewhere
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.
