s-10 high oil pressure Sign In

I have a 1996 Chevy S-10, 4.3 v-6, automatic and a 4-wd. It has started blowing the oil filter off itself. I have removed the cooler lines and checked for obstructions (none), checked cooler itself with low pressure compressed air(ok), removed and cleaned the remote filter housing and adapter from engine. I also tried different brand filter with same result. Upon start-up the oil pressure gauge sweeps to past 80 psi then pop goes the filter gasket. Any ideas will be appreciated and thank you.

I would guess bad check valve in the oil pump.
