Lately my oil pressure gauge is reading 70 psi ? Better than reading too low but I don't remember it being that high. Maybe 50psi? Engine rebuild was around 15 years ago. Could there be something else going on or is this a gauge issue? What should normal oil pressure be during driving and after a hard run?

My pressures when hot
500-800 rpm 25 psi
1000 to 1500 50psi
2000+ 70psi
5000+ 80+psi
500-800 rpm 25 psi
1000 to 1500 50psi
2000+ 70psi
5000+ 80+psi
My oil pressure is 20 to 25 at idle when hot and 50 to 60 at 2500 rpm hot. On startup it is 70.
I did reset my Pressure relief valve to 70 psi.
The TR3B I am working on had an oil pressure around 90 when I drove it up the road so I reset it to 70.
You could get a cheap gauge to plug into the oil pressure line to verify your gauge.
