Have any of you ever heard of "water jet" cutting steel.?? This is where water under hi pressureseveral hundred lbs, is forced through a very small hole. Having too much oil pressure in my firs stock car engine I broke the crank oil under hi pressure coming out of the main bearings cut a grove in the crank shoulder. After a dozen races it broke, "Cavitation erosion ". Flow is more important than pressure.
