Can you have too much oil pressure?

After my rebuild, I usually have 60-70 PSI warm or cold in the higher RPM's, and never below 50 @ idle.

It is a stock replacement melling pump, with a "White spring"

I'm using Valvoline 10W-30 for the break in.


While I'm glad to have plenty of pressure.... is too much bad?

You are fine. I have the same exact parts and mine sits right where yours does.
