Hi Mike, I'm glad your sorted too
You don't have to worry about bits from the blown filter going through the system. The filter that blew is the return line filter and any debris from there could not enter the system as it would be held back by the suction filter which you washed. There's nothing wrong with washing that out either.
I have just checked the 3CX manual on here for the pressure readings and was surprised to find that the "main line relief valve" setting is 3,500 lbs.ft.
Where are you taking your reading from Some parts of the loader system are regulated to lower pressures, ( 2,500 lbs.).
Pressures should be taken at 1,500 rpm.
