I had the same thought, at first. But no oil lights ever. So my guess is that enough got through to partially supply the pump. But the pressure-fed areas in head didn't get what they needed. Yes the top was soaking in a pool of oil but not pressurized into where its needed like valve guides and cam bearings.
Anyway I'm just making assumptions. A mechanic friend of mine is examining it today - or tomorrow if the snow keeps him home today.
