I had Nissan do a pre-purchase inspection on the vehicle before I purchased it from another dealer. The Nissan tech said the engine felt/looked very healthy, and the compression checks were great.

You would have to take out a couple bearings and see if they're still good, but at that point you might aswell change all the bearings and in the end swapping in a newer block is cheaper $ wise.
Edit: The reason I'm saying this is I had a friend's car that we did the gallery gasket on. Oil pressure was a little higher than yours but still under 13~ psi at hot idle. His engine is still running but the oil is glittery with every oil change.
