I think it might if it were sometimes hanging open after enough revs to increase pressure to where it opens. But unless it's picked up something to hang it, it's hard to figure this happening in something continually bathed in oil. However, 70 psi at hot idle is definitely unusual for a gear pump. Do you have a mechanical or electrical oil pressure gage?
