It's been said.
It needs to be said again:
DO NOT IGNORE THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT
Under normal conditions it's foolish, after a procedure that is known to be problematic for the oiling system, it's INSANE to ignore it.

I had an experience 15 years ago on the MX track where I shifted down in the air over a jump preparing for the next corner. I didn't think it went so I stomped down on the shifter again to make sure I got the gear. Turns out it did shift both times and I floated the valves hard when landing. It didn't give any indication that it touched until half a lap later when it dropped the valve  |
I've also seen a scion tc float and drop rockers, TWICE. All it took was squeezing the rockers and shims back in.
