So how
about this theory.
Since the damage was caused by no oil,
there was no oil to carry contamination back to the oil pan. All other oil was
pumped overboard before it even had a chance to reach the damaged areas (which,
if it had, there would be no damaged areas).
What may be much more telling, would be the oil you put in
the engine when you restarted before teardown. That oil would be pumped through
all the damaged areas and would carry contaminants away. Do you have any of that
oil available for analysis? How much $ is an analysis?

I believe that routine
oil analysis can probably be of some value as far as trends might go, but I'm
extremely under whelmed by the results of this test. It just seems to me
that something should have been screaming "damage", but clearly it
isn't.
Cheers,
Rusty (maybe my rotors
were calcium coated)
