Nope ya don't. But I don't mind hearing it. 

I just fabricated the bracket to prevent turning of the PRV. Plenty of room as to ensure no hampering of oil flow.

Yep. I am crossing my fingers for no damage BUT still checking what I can.

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.
