This does not affect what has been said... which I agree with..
but as a technical side note... on some of our engines the oil pressure valve is screwed into the back of the oil pump ... so it CAN fall out ... and cause a low oil pressure situation which is easy and cheap to fix..( but fast stopping of the engine as has been described is critical ).
IF this were to happen to you instead of just putting that one back into the back of the oil pump and locktiteing it in... you should check for the latest recommended version as about three versions are available....differing I believe in the pressure readings they produce....
