Yes. Thanks. I am also fabricating a plate to attach around the valve mounted to the gold conversion Concepts engine mounting plate that will prevent it from unscrewing. This plate is being secured with the mounting hardware safety wired into place.

Glad it turned out to be something simple.

I recommend RED loktite for this part.

I removed the engine on Friday. Dropped the pan today, Sunday. The first thing I saw was the spring from the pressure control valve dangling from the bottom of the engine/engine mount. Then, as now expected, the pressure control valve sitting in the pan. 

Well, to quote Mythbuster's "There's your problem.". So, now to re-read the install to see what I missed and perhaps add some Lock Tight.
