Higher oil pressure a concern?

Took off the oil pan because it was really rusted. This is the only thing I did internally. Now out cruising around town, the pressure is close to 90 ( hard to tell exactly since the dial goes from 85-110. I think it used to run below the 85 mark by about 1/4 inch. Seems to run fine and I know I got the oil pick up on good and tight, good oil level. Thanks in advance. It's a unmolested GS with 58k on the clock.

Whats the pressure like at idle? Is this an after market guage or the one in the console? Seems
the OEM one and the sender have minds of their own and may just be inaccurate.

See this thread for what I mean: https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generati...-temp-1101360/

Factory one, but it's been consistent since I've owned it. It's around 60 at idle. Seems to be getting better, not sure if its a bad oil filter, but out of town till next week, so I'll replace that when i can.
