Now, with that said....the plastic you have been getting in your oil and that you have noticed....is a problem. Should have addressed that when you saw it the 1st time. I suspect this was the 1st problem and then started to get worse. Shouldn't cause a broken spring, but, if there is something in in the oil that shouldn't be there, it is only a matter of time before that plastic gets somewhere that will cause bigger issues.
I’m leaning towards just bank one right now. It’s a bit of a hassle to get everything apart engine in the car.

The plastic is pretty minimal. I always assumed it was the chain ramps since there’s an occasional chatter on startup. But looking at them they don’t look too worn, on bank one at least.

Now that i think about it though, theres always been a slight noise coming from bank one, which i now think was the spring getting ready to go. it failed at 6k rpm, maybe it was over revved by the previous owner and it got weak. just glad the motor is repairable for revatively cheap
