Just an informational tidbit...max
oil pressure in side oiler blocks can be adjusted (on the engine stand or with the trans and clutch removed) by adding (to increase pressure) or removing (to decrease pressure) thin washers between the side oiler pressure spring and the little valve in the back of the block. If yours doesn't have any washers, the spring is possibly too strong, causing your ultra high pressure.
In your case, it sounds like you've got the situation well under control.
