There is really no way to tell what happened,just that it did.I had a pickup fall off a engine and did not know it for a couple years when I pulled the pan.I just noticed that when I stopped hard the oil pressure would drop.No idea of when it actually came off just that I found it in the pan.60 lb pump,stock 69 pan,because of what I saw on the gauge I always ran a Xtra qt of oil.The bearing were perfect when checked but I really never drove it over 3K on the street.For all the years I had been doing this I never welded the pickup.One reason is I cant weld!FWIW,Tom
