Is this the correct way the oil filter housing is supposed to be setup? I just had a HECK of a time trying to get the oil filter back off. So I'm wondering if I've got something setup wrong.
I have had filters that were VERY reluctant to come off...... usually the result of someone over-tightening them on installation. I usually just put 'em on hand tight..... (sometimes both hands....) and they can STILL sometimes be real fun to get off......
Not putting lube on the seal before installing can also add to the difficulty removing them in the future.

It blew at 120???? Aren't they rated for significantly higher than that???
This was the supply line going to the ARB distribution block coming off the pressure regulator. My OBA system is got a 150 PST switch so the pressure has to be regulated down to 120 PSI. I was trying out a new type of tubing and I guess it didn't like the heat & pressure.

All the OBA system is push lock fittings and 1/4" & 3/8" line. It just finding the right stuff for this as it seems the more flexible stuff doesn't like the heat. I have the tools & I made all my lines for my power steering & transmission cooling & hydrovac lines.
Make your own hoses??
