While I think measuring oil pressure at the level of these hoses would be very helpful, I think everyone needs to ensure adequate slack in these hoses (just an extra couple inches). Finally, a true stainless steel hose clamp that can be screwed down may be a good idea rather than zip ties.

I have plenty of slack in my setup.

Ah, from one of your earlier posts, you mentioned cutting a hose too short. Thought you had left it that way.

Any chance something like this could be working the hoses loose? How do our mounts look when the car is revving on a dyno?

no, I fixed it, thats when I found out how almost impossible they were to remove. That video I think shows a bad motor mount, its not that extreme, or shouldn't be.
