Its just a question as i wondered if its happened and people havent noticed. If the light came on and you immediately pulled over and switched the engine off, surely it couldnt cause too much damage as there would still be residual oil in the engine. Point being, (from what i'm reading here) if the oil light comes on and you know there's oil in it, there is a high chance that the bolt has fallen out.@Bobdog , Yes the light should come on immediately, as there would be no pressure, not sure why you have it as a question.
All the results of this failure mode I have read about appear to be lackof oil causing engine failure. not damage due to the chain rattling around. At the edn of the day a fubarred engine is just that. If it is a concern then remove the sump and check it.
