high fuel pressure @ idle

Checked the fuel pressure today. It was 38-39 lbs @ idle and 41 ilbs @ 2000rpms.

The return line is new and is not kinked. Everything looks right.

Is this a bad overflow valve? I stretched the spring last fall to get by without buying a new overflow vavle.

Do I need a new overflow valve? I also still have the ticking noise, which is why I started checking fule pressures anyway.

Any ideas?

Thanks
