If the oil pressure gauge is high it could mean there is a blockage in the flow from the oil pump to the heads if there is a blockage it will cause the vehicle to over heat (at the least!) It will also destroy the engine! Have a mechanic run a pressure test on the compression, oil pump, and oil flow to the heads.
