What should the oil pressure ideally be and how long should it take to come up?

My new purchase shows about 20psi @ idle and seems to take a bit of time getting there from cold. It's got what appears to be fairly bad rod knock (not had sump off yet) so could the worn ends account for this?

If it's not normal, what are the common causes of low pressure on the CA18ET? Never really got my hands dirty with one of these engines before, half tempted to pull it out and strip!
