I had a sudden loss of oil pressure a few years ago caused by one of the plugs falling out of the crank near one of the big ends, luckily it only killed a big end, the plugs are ball bearings pushed into the drillings for the oil galleries in the crank.

Odd that it would happen right after the service you mentioned, on the very next drive. Leads one to believe there is a good probability it is related to those actions, though not necessarily so.

I'm with Rasta. A rod bearing hammering out will start with a little noise and not a lot of pressure drop. A bit later the noise gets louder followed by massive drop in oil pressure. Then you either shut if off without breaking the rod bolts or...... Bang - very loud noise and lock-up or very rough running three cylinder engine. Some or a LOT of leakage may occur. BTDT X 2
