WV golf 1 keeps blowing the oil filter rubber seal, oil filter, rubber seals , different filters etc tried?

Did a valve job about a month ago, but vehicle only started blowing the seals in last couple of days, tried different new filters - this vehicle does not have a oil cooler fitted, the filter screws straight onto the block, the contact surfaces are perfect, used a PAYEN head gasket which seemed a perfect match, help - desperateWV golf 1 keeps blowing the oil filter rubber seal, oil filter, rubber seals , different filters etc tried?
too much oil pressure will do it.if the relief valve that regulates oil pressure is stuck shut ,it will sky rocket teh oil pressure to the point it will explode replacable filters or gaskets like on you car.it is also possible that a piece of crap got stuck into it so it wont open right either.WV golf 1 keeps blowing the oil filter rubber seal, oil filter, rubber seals , different filters etc tried?
My friend had the same problem. We ended up changing the hole unit that the oil filter screws to.
Take the filter back off and check the surface where the rubber gasket touches on engine for a gasket that has become stuck to engine. If you don't lube the new gasket with oil when installing new filter it can become stuck on engine. if there is another gasket the oil will spray out between the two gas gets.
Are you running too thick of an oil in the Winter?
