Why would oil pressure rise when I let off the gas?

mine does it to, im thinking possibly pinched O ring on the pump allowing air in, or the gasket on my oil pan is letting air in and leaking pressure that way. Changing all that this weekend, ill let you know if it fixes anything. Oh yea im changin the rod bearings also while im under there swapping rod bolts.

He's not talking about the pan gasket. He means the pickup tube O ring. If its pinched, the pump could be sucking up air instead of oil from the pan. Its a possibility, but I still dont know how you can pinch those things. Pretty easy and straightforward install I though.
