Did you check to make sure an old rubber seal is not stuck in the oil filter opening? Just my 0.2 cents. I don't know what else could be causing it other than high oil pressure for some reason...

i could understand ONE oil filter seal failing......but not 2..and especially not 2 in a row. that engine makes no where near enough pressure to brake that filter once its screwed on tight. Pretty sure you got an old seal stuck to the block...or something else is leaking.
i demand pictures of said busted seals

well... to keep it short and simple... you have a blockage somewhere in your block. Something loose that got stuck somewhere when you turned it off... That seems to be the only conclusion I can come up with.

relief valve sticking is the best answer. Just replace your oil pump. Then it might be my answer above. lol
