well were it would or could bleed off is loose rods and main s loose oil pump loose cam . other things like plugs not in block . all things i listed .but the mains and rods i would bet is what going on with this .or your getting the oil so hot its like water and pissing past the mains and rods loose mains and rods will not make it better .i told you i did not hold the 10psi for every 1000 rpms for much .i built many engines .but think about it .if you held your rule 10 psi for 1000 rpms you only need 10 psi for 1000 rpms thats past idle on some engines
