too high of oil preasure, blowing fiter seal, HELP Options

[dougcoup]

I recently converted to 6cyl, and now when I start it it blows the oil filter seal.
We traced the oil and it is flowing freely through the system and cooler back into drysump.... we noticed that hoses were a little softer on the out side of the oil cooler (RX7 turbo cooler) so we bypassed it and it solved the problem.

I have since bought a new cooler 914-6, and now it blows again.

Any thoughts as to why this might be happening?
I checked both oil pressure springs and valves and they are there, loose and movable so they are not stuck.

Have you put a gauge on the engine to see how much oil pressure you're running?

And is the engine stock? Stock oil pump, relief pistons/springs, etc.

This is a factor if he is plumed into the stock cooler inlet/outlet on the motor. The engine pressure is not a factor as the six engine has a 2 stage oil pump if he is using the scavenge cicut.

if it blows the factory oil cooler on the motor then the motor thermostat is bad or not there allowing cold engine oil to enter cooler.

how is your set up plumbed?
A sketch or pic of your plumbing would be good

I saw your post, and would like to discuss/learn more, as I am not sure I follow you.

The engine is not stock. Not sure what is done but it is a race engine 2.8L, 265hp.
I am using the stock on engine cooler with the patrick motorsports modification to allow me to hook up AN fitting.... I have that and the other fitting on the case lower in the circuit. I have it plumbed just like the patick website shows.
and am really sure it is right as when we take the remote front oil cooler out of the line it is fine. But I have tried two coolers and both make it blow.

email me directly and I can send you email with drawing of plumbing
