I've serviced the pressure relief valves in the Diesel oil pimp pick-tube before. You can remove the end cap, the plunger and spring and polish the bore and plunger with a fine crocus cloth , then reassemble with some assembly lube , testing for smoothness of the plunger  before putting the cap back on.Robert1982 Westfalia

After complete rebuild including new OHC head, rings, bearings, injector rebuild, new oil pump...  Now on warming up oil pressure peaks and blows out the big Mann oil filter, spewing out the oil.  Something about oil pump check valve or bypass? Does anyone have direct experience with this issue?
