excessive oil pressure

Posted by gregm on August 01, 2007 at 13:29:02 from (70.57.177.240):

About six months ago I replaced/overhauled the engine in my brother"s 1960 series I d17 allis chalmers. It ran great for about three months or so mowing his pasture and ditches. Then one day when he tried to start it, it blew the oil filter apart at the seam! I know that there must be a restriction and/or lack of but I do not know where to begin other than taking the oil pan off and start blowing through lines. As I mentioned before I replaced the block and did an engine overhaul. I blew every oil passage out when I overhauled it and being that the engine did not run odd when he parked it, I do not fill that it may have prematurely spun a bearing. The only thing I can think of is that the oil pressure regulator went bad, but where is it on this engine? The old block housed it next to the dipstick, which is easy to adjust or replace externally. The new block is the new style oil system with the internal threaded oil filter and this style does not have an external oil regulator . I have heard that the regulator is part of the oil pump on this system. Any help or suggetions?
