I realize that but it would have to balloon a lot to do that. Usually you can push the converter back about 3/16 of an inch before it bottoms on the hub. It would have to balloon enough to take up the end play then push on the crank. Doesn't seem too likely. Besides that shouldn't have anything to do with lockup like was mentioned earlier.

Maybe on a steam engine, or something else from the 1800's, but the most you should see from break-in of a modern engine is darkening of the oil. Don't forget, he lost oil pressure. The only place that metal contacts metal is the rings and the cylinder walls.
Please don't even you follow your own advise, with loss of oil pressure and bearing material (any amount) in the filter, severe engine damage is right around the corner. I doubt it would have went another thousand miles (even with a new filter ).

Woops....missed the lost oil pressure part.......damn.
