Pardon me for being adamant, but if it can kill you it should be safety wired! Period.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Smoking Gun -Loss of oil pressure
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.
