I had on occasion once, many years ago with very low oil pressure that puzzled me. I removed the oil pump relief valve and found a small piece of silicon sealer in the spring. It looked like nothing at all, but I removed it, cleaned the spring, applied a small amount of assembly lube, reassembled and the oil was pressure was back to it's old self! Mostly dumb luck, but I felt like a genius at the time. I soon switched over to the rubber cam cover gaskets and never had a problem like that again.
