Yea, kinda what I was digging for. Why didn't the bypass relieve the pressure, if in fact, that was the true cause of the failure.john_bud said:Usually, a clogged filter element is much much much much weaker than the steel used in the housing. If anything should blow out, the element or the by pass is where that happens. I am again guessing, but it sounds like a faulty seam, crimp or weld failed. Never heard of an oil pump going up to 1000 psi and blowing out a non-defective filter case. Could happen, but never heard of it.
AND it coulda been a tc40/45, not necessarily a K
Not enough details sometimes for the nosiness some of us possess
