I'm not sure it makes a lot of difference which hose goes where.
How do you know your oil pressure is high? Did you hook up a gauge?
or did you mean crankcase pressure?
How about oil changes? I'd change the oil and then cob it out
good and hard and see if it settles down any.

I am not familiar with your "pressure test" reading in percentages.
Is that a compression test? What actual pressures did you get?
Anywhere from 100 to 150 is common with higher pressures for "E"
engines and lower ones for worn rings and leaking valves. If a spoonful
of oil in each cylinder raises it, the problem is rings. Otherwise it
is probably valves.
