oil pan

I posted a question a few days ago about a problem with the pin in the dist. gear. In talking to various mechanics anouther potential source of of the lock up of the oil pump could be material from a nylon coated cam gear. With both Jack's comments and the nylon I have come to the conclusion it would be foolish not to pull the engine and clean it out. Getting to my question, is the 10Qt. oil pan sold by the pantera vendors different than say an oil pan manufactured by Moroso PN 710-20560. I found this in JEG'S.
Also, if you beef up the pin in the dist. gear are you not potentially causing the failure mode to change. It would seem that if the oil pump were to stop that you would want something cheep to break and stop the engine so that the engine would not run out of oil.
