Oil press too high after cam/head install Press builds to over 100psi and the oil filter seal blows out. I nstalled a ported z06 oil pump trex cam z06 heads arp rod bolts. Anything I can look for on this to fix the problem? I am thinking its a oil filter issue???

I agree with these guys must be the pump, i doubt it has anything to do with your oil filter. I run a K&N by the way, with Mobil 1 5W-30.

Thanks for the input guys. I removed the oil pump to find the bypass corroded to the inside of the pump. I emailed brian at speed inc so we'll see what happens. I reinstalled the stock pump and all is well. My factory pump was in perfect shape so I told him I just want a refund. What a way to spend 5 hours taking everything back apart and my garge is a mess, oil everywhere.
