That seems excessive to me, but I've never watched water pressure before. I've bled the block a couple of times and I dont feel like I have an air lock. Heat is even throughout the radiator. I was a bit worried about compression leaking into the cooling chamber, but I'm not loosing any water, the plugs aren't wet, and it starts flawlessly each time. Hot or cold.
