Good to know about the oil pressure relief valve though. I do have some ticking at idle when hot as well, though much quieter than what I'm talking about, so I'll replace that too. Thanks!

I intend to put a gauge for oil pressure in the car at some point soon.

Are you due for an oil change soon? Is your oil filled to the specified level?
