That oil pressure seems pretty good to me. If you want to know for sure, you can pull the head and check the #5 piston. In my cases (one was with my daughters jeep) with piston slap, once the head was off, I was able to move the piston around with my thumbs...the one with the broken skirt, I was able to rock a bit. My daughter must have drove 8-9 months with it clattering around when cold till she could afford the parts for me to rebuild for her.
