I'v thought of that, I'd like to think the debris would be forced out of the bearing and into the oil pan where the pump would pick it up and filter it out. Each journal is lubricated in parallel and not series. So I think it might be ok. Not convinced about cylinder walls and pump though, those would not be protected.
