high oil pressure

[Kernal]

Only time I've seen the oil pressure gauge needle that high was when a FRAM filter (on the shelf, wanted to use it up, should've tossed it) went into full bypass mode. Changed the filter, problem solved.

So I should not be too worried about my high reading on my gauge. New 80 to me owner here. ThanksView attachment 2541952

This is where mine is at when starting the vehicle, is this normal as I have nothing to reference.

What’s been done:
First start up in 3 years
Fresh oil 5w-30
New oil pressure sensor
Oil cooler removed to replace with new bits.
New main seal
New oil pump gasket
.

looks normal, what does it look like hot? remember this is not a precise gauge, if you want to know real pressure numbers stick an actual gauge on the pressure port.
