Ok, wait. How the hell does RTV get sucked through the screen for the pickup tube? Let alone a piece big enough to clog an oil port? One more thing. A clogged oil squirter will not choke off enough oil to send a rod through the block. All the oil squirters do is spray oil at the bottom of the pistons to cool them off a little. They don't do anything for lubrication of moving parts.

I agree plus chunks of rtv through the oil screen that would take effort to sift flower through come on. If anything would have happened it would be a bearing failure on a rod that could be cause by a number of things including unchanged oil or just a bad part.
