I am not positive. But I can look into it.

No, what I meant was what caused the screen on the intake cam to become plugged or blocked solid? By what?

the metal from the bearing drops into the pan and gets circulated through the engine by the pump after plugging the filter and causing it to into bypass the metal then plugged up the screens. it took 200 miles for the thrust bearing to eat away into nothing ness

So, did you get the new shortblock installed?

Did tear apart the bad shortblock and take a look at the bearings?

Did you reinstall the possibly contaminated (with metal shavings) GTM oil cooler on the new engine?

the feed line on the cooler blew off so it never saw a single shaving you pop that line and bam no oil pressure right away so it isn't an issue of guage versus light here one second you have pressure the next it is just getting pumped straight out the side of the motor and will not reach ANY of the engine. Yeah the short block has been done already and (what was left of ) the thrust bearing was lying in the oil pan.

Why did the damage continue to happen after everything else was fixed?

if you scour a bearing it will not fix itself and just dies at a much faster rate than it normally would hence blown cooler damaged the smoth surface of the bearing, bearing degrades and produce little metal pieces, pieces eat bearing further, rinse and repeat.
