I have had the exploding oil filter problem in the past. The engine builder with the best of intentions had "adjusted" a pressure relief spring in the oil pump. I would start there and see if your oil pump relief valve has stuck in position. The side oilers also have a secondary pressure relief of the oil into the back of the crank case from the block. I'm not sure where and if the 428 has the secondary relief but you need to find out. Good luck with it and let us know what you find.
