If you'll remember my last post in the original thread, you'll see that VNV thought that there was something wrong with the bypass plate.
So, see the attached picture. He was absolutely correct, the engine rebuilder plugged my bypass . So, if I understand the workings correctly, when the oil filter canister reaches a critical pressure value, the bypass kicks in, bypassing the oil filter and forcing oil directly into the engine. IF all that's true, there is now no pressure drop at the oil filter which would account for the high pressure seen in the galleys. I KNEW that I should have ordered a new one from LICS. OK, ONE more order and I should be in good shape.
God, he will be insufferable now .
