RE: Excessive Oil Pressure ?

Not necessarily so! You didn't tell us how old the engine is and that is important as it takes a while for parts to seat in. Guages are a good thing but they do make us worry some times. You also didn't say what oil viscosity you are using which is very important. I have cars and vans that have over 100,000 miles on them and I use 5 W 30 Mobil 1 full synthetic oil in and they only get better with age. You might want to try a lighter oil and see if that helps. When I was racing my 427s I used 50 or even 70 weight oil because that's what the thinking was back then, new technology is in place and I have friends that have several hundred passes on the same engine at extreme RPM without a failure using 0 W 9 weight Royal Purple synthetic, They do check/change the bearings regularly. I would not suggest that you go that radical, try a 5 W 30 oil and see what that does for you.
