Default oil pressure high

So my oil pressure guage reads like an 8th of an inch over the middle of the guage. Should i be worried about this?

Thats normal. If you're still not comfortable with that, get an Autometer gauge. Very easy hook up.

too high oil pressure will cause a spun bearing.

I would say that it is between 60-66. With the stock guage you cant tell exact but thats what it looks like
