I Agree most likely your oil pump had a spring failure in the relief valve ,

the spring got jammed or worn out so the relief valve in your oil pump is stuck wide open and your pumping oil at the rate your top end cant handle over 70 psi

you might dry sump your oil pan and ruin your crank bearings , drop the oil pan replace the spring and ball before its to late
