Just to back up what's already been said - your gauge will go to the pin on a cold engine but once it's warm the pressure will settle around 2-4psi dependant on the state of your engine, and possibly even to 0 on tick-over. Don't worry it's quite normal. The RP has a splash fed crank so high oil pressures are not important. Just to emphasise the point here's mine running flat out, with less than 5psi on the gauge.
