Washer in the Oil Pump Pressure Relief?

Yeah, so I finally get the EJ22t w/ DOHC back together(Ill make a post with some pics soon)
I start cranking it over to get oil up in there. Im getting about 80-90 psi of oil pressure w/out the engine running. With a mechanical gauge.
So I think, well maybe the gauge is messed up. Nope. Tried a different one.
So I plug the fuse in and Start up the freshly rebuilt engine.
The oil pressure gauge pegs over a 100 psi at about 1500rpm.
So I shut it off quickly(side point, everything else sounded good
)
Long story slightly less long.... I pull the pressure relief spring and plunger out, and find a little washer in there thats deffinetly out of place. So I Put it back together and my oil pressure is about 80-90 w/ cold oil at about 1500rpm. Pretty norm.
So the moral, pull the oil pump pressure relief valve apart and check for foriegn objects before you assemble the engine
Pretty wierd huh?
