Question is how quickly and how far did the oil pressure drop below the
emergency minimum (30 lbs - normal pressure = 60lb/sq.in.) under negative g? Under what circumstances would the oil pressure drop below this minimum, and how long would it take for significant damage to occur to the Merlin, or any other engine? How would this be quantified and replicated in a flight sim?

There shouldn't be a problem as long as your temperatures stay within the limits set by the Pilot's Notes - trouble is now the Merlins overheat far too quickly.
