There is no oil pan damage, so this could have limited the oil supply right out of the gate. So far, only a bent push rod.

It's possible that the pump still pushed plenty of oil and the engine never knew the difference.
 
I have a hard time believing that that damaged pickup had anything to do with it.
You can pour sand into a 318 and it will eat it for lunch. How was the oil pressure?
I think look elsewhere.
 
Yup, I agree with everyone, that likely wouldn't hurt anything...
