Is this oil pressure normal?

Yes. The WIHIMAW syndrome is real. How's that "new" trailer coming along?

You're just mad cuz you're in that wet and chilly. *Cranks A/C down to 68 for bedtime

All you have to do to check the O-ring is overfill the oil pan by 2 or 3 quarts to get the oil level higher than the O-ring. I think it takes 2 quarts. You don't wanna drive it like this but it's a quick and easy test and better than tearing into it only to find it's not the problem.

I need to do this and see if it helps my lifter rattle at initial start up after sitting. I'm afraid I'll put too much r not enough. Is it two or three? lol

Lifter ticking at startup after sitting is because the oil has drained outta the lifter(s). The O-ring only affects the oil pressure when the engine is running. If it was leaking and the oil pressure was low as a result, then any lifter rattle you'd get would be because of the low pressure and it'd do it while the engine is running until you rev it to raise the pressure enough to compensate.

Next time it sits and should tick, hold the accelerator to the floor and crank it until it stops on it's own. Wait about a minute, then repeat. The third time, just crank it as normal (foot off the pedal) to start it. See if the startup ticks improve any.

It has good oil pressure and the tick is only at start up. Its fine after its been ran
