[Roadsters] 6700 RPM's 5th Gear and ooh noo

[nmleeds at mindspring.com]

I probably won't have happened on my morning commute if it weren't for the 260Z.  I know that's no excuse.  But I've seen him before, weaving through the heavy traffic and then taking a death (and speeding ticket) defying leap for it when traffic gets light after the airport turnoff.  And my wife took her car to work today, so I was in the Datsun and . . . 

listmates, you'll be happy to hear that by b-cam SU '69 2000 blew his socks off until, at 6700 RPM's the oil (20-50W) pressure got to be too much and I blew a great big oil leak (I haven't cleaned up the mess so I can't report what blew) although there is no signs of any internal engine problems.

There are two possible lessons take away from this: 1) I should learn to drive more cautiously 2) I should put something on the engine to blead off extra oil pressure.

Since lesson 1 is a new trick this old (actually mid-30's) dog isn't likely to learn, I thought I'd ask if anyone had any suggestions for what to do control oil pressure under heavy load.
