Unhappy Catastrophic Oil Failure

I just dissasembled the rest of the Block and every bearing has been wiped out I think the Crank is FUBAR, everything else should be OK the cam bearings started to wear. I can't seem to figure out what the hell happened! The oil pump is fine the engine had oil. the pump was working, any Ideas? I completely dissasembled the oil galleys, removed everything and I can't find anything plugged. BTW this all happened on one drive.

Re: Catastrophic Oil Failure

Did the oil get too hot and brake down? Does the car have the factory oil cooler? Mine got clogged a few years back and took out the cam and lifters

Re: Catastrophic Oil Failure

You lose one, the rest are soon to follow. Debris in the oil will kill every bearing in a VERY short period of time.
