Oil filter bulge, Jiffy Pop NEW concern, 1 cyl intermittently pre-detonates help! Michigan Build, 2016 Build-Off Options

[Garland]

This engine is for my Michigan Build, 2016 Build-Off Challenge. Needed to come to the "Garage" for some help.

Fresh rebuilt on start up, my first oil filter inflated, then leaked at the seal. Second try, filter massive leak blew the seal out. I have a flow probem. Looking for help. I must be building pressure, just won't leave the filter.

Thank you, I may just do that

2015Pressure Relief

Our pressure relief valve replaces the stock assembly located in the bottom of the Type 4 engine crankcase. It eliminates the oil cooler bypass in the stock oil circuit and raises the peak operating pressure to 70psi.The crankcase bore for the pressure relief assembly is well worn after 40 years of operation and often bypasses a significant amount of oil, lowering available pressure to the bearings. Our assembly uses a chrome-moly steel sleeve with close tolerance stainless steel piston for many years of troublefree performance. It will cure many high oil temp/low oil pressure issues and is essential for modified engines with external oil coolers - to achieve optimal oil temperature control. A perfect complement to our remote oil cooler kits.
