David,
  If this engine is fairly "new" and tight, your oil pressure is fine.
  If, however, the engine is old and tired, I believe that the spring in 
the oil pressure relief valve may have been stretched/replaced. Or you 
may have a stuck plunger in this relief valve. 
  Either will bolster the oil pressure and mask greater than normal 
bearing clearances.
My .02 cents.

God Bless,
