A,
I was thinking two things: 1. simply reduce the pressure
with a regulator; and 2. reduce the pressure and bypass the cooler with some of
the flow.
I really don't know how much oil must pass through the
cooler for sufficient cooling - may be a trial-and-error thing. At the
very least the cooler wouldn't be over-pressurized and fail, causing loss of all
the oil.
I suspect that the regulator could be adjusted to
provide adequate flow at a pressure well within the limits of the cooler.
Given the correct formula and inputs, someone could
calculate a ballpark figure. Testing would be the only way to prove it for
sure.

If an overpressure in
the oil cooler is causing the cooler to burst...
Why not limit the
pressure by adding a pressure regulator in series with the
cooling system....?
I guess you mean to bypass the cooler
with some of the flow to limit pressure to the cooler? Probably not a
good idea – reduces your ability to cool the oil.
