FWIW, my pickup tube broke off right at the block. No grinding on pickup but was slightly bent for clearance. I wouldn't be sleeping good with one ground down like your picture.
How in whole earth do a pick up tube with .118" thick walls be broken of by itself without hitting it or something like that, even if you hit it by drive in to something so the oil pan bend up its a pretty thick wall pipe. I have grind it down for clearance but still have .0393" left in that area, i have also bend it for right clearance to bottom of the pan, i have drive it pretty hard for about 2000 miles now and still is the oil preassure good👍. Can a 0.118" thick wall pipe be broken of only by driven it like yours we are all except salvation if you dont drive external oiling.
