Jose,
Try using the old filter (if you still have it) and see if the problem
corrects it's self. If the problem is still there then your problem is some
were else.

Regardless of the filter, the oil pressure relief valve should limit the
ressure to a maximum of (typically) 60-70psi.
30psi @ 1,000rpm is great, but 90 @ 4,000 seems too high; the obvious
ulprit would be the valve, but I can't explain how just changing the oil and
ilter would instigate the problem (unless, maybe, you went from 20W break-in
il to straight 60W). Definitely check the valve for burrs, etc.; maybe try a
ifferent spring.
Sounds like your rebuild was good--most issues are with too low
ressure--but too high puts undue stress on the cam/distributor gear and
eals.

After the engine rebuilt I had normal oil pressure 20-30 at 1000 rpm and
0-50
At 4000 rpm.
Using the spin oil filter adapter from moss and the cheap fram spin on oil
filter (moss # 235-880)
After an oil and filter change this week I get 30 at 1000 rpm and 90 at
000
rpm and 100 at 5000 rpm. I changed the oil spin on filter to the K&N (moss
235-830).
Any ideas,
Jose
