		On my way to work today I pulled up to a stop light and noticed my engine sounded a little "funny".  Like I had developed a header leak.  When I looked at my engine  oil I had about 1-5 psi if I were lucky.  
 
   (1).  I ran my car ~1/4 mile before I realized what had happened.  How long is "too" long to run a motor with little to no  oil pressure?
 
   (2).  I going to pull my  oil pan and check for damage.  Which main bearing would be best to pull and inspect for damage?
 
   (3).  What about the top end?  I'm running a solid lift roller cam.
 
    This is a 351C 4V motor with less than 2k miles on a fresh rebuild.   
    Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks, 
Lew
