I hope someone will have an answer for me. My 69 GTO was at a school technical shop and someone started the car and the oil pump pin dropped into the engine while running. Of course there was no oil in the engine because the oil pump pin was in the engine . This seized up the engine, which had to be taken apart to remove the pin.
MY QUESTION: What is the least of the damage that would occur to vehicle in this situation? What is the most damage that could occur? I do not knoe how long vehicle was running w/o oil before engine seized up.
PLEASE I NEED AN ANSWER! Thank you for your time Tracy
