An Auto heater core is designed for pressures much lower than oil pressures probably in the 15-20 pound range.

Alex Balic, if you see this would you please call me at 469-426-4498? I fired up the engine today and my automotive heater core deformed from the oil pressure and started gushing oil. (I'm so glad that the interior isn't done yet.) I think I'm using a ball valve similar to yours; I'd just like to talk to you about it and see if I installed anything incorrectly.

A milestone: the airplane moved under its own power today.
