I had a car come in my shop that someone "Fixed" the oil pump on. It kept blowing the rubber seal out of the filter. When I ran a pressure check it showed 135 before the gasket went. Turned out he "Overhauled" the pump and drove the spring cap for the relief valve half way down the bore.
Put a new pump in that one. A girdle would not have helped that one.
