Even if it was for a min. The coating could have come off the bearing, I think i'm going to pop off a main cap or 2 and have a look. same with a rod bearing.. I need to do an Oil pan gasket anyways..
I'll Update when I've gotten into it, Probably not until this after this weekend, Deer season opens up this weekend

I think you are probably going to be ok. If you had 3.5 quarts your sump never went dry and you should have had adequate pressure the whole time. I wouldn't be concerned unless she was doing a lot of high speed cornering or climbing incredibly steep inclines. Other than that it is unlikely that it ever ran dry. I'm not recommending that you run around intentionally with only 3.5 quarts but one time probably didn't hurt it. Now if you wife drives like I do you might have a problem.

Update.....
Finally got time to dig into this mess, thank god for having extra cars
It was really tough so far
Fan came right off * having the right tools is always great*
I put the Rover crank pulley holder on, and got out my big breaker bar..
after about 15 seconds of pressure on the breaker bar, one bolt snapped that holds the pulley holder tool on..
I guess I'm going to take the radiator out, and just put a impact on the crank bolt...

Ok Got everything off, yes the front seal was torn to pieces..
Got the broken bolt out of the Pulley
Put everything back together last night, Filled her up with water..
Started right up, had horrible lifter tick... It's sat for a little over 2 weeks now.. So I let the motor heat up and the lifter filled back up and she is running just fine now..
So all said and done for now, and the Mrs. is just going to drive it till the motor pops.. And I will just have one waiting to go in it..
Thanks for all your help
