ROFL 
What a coincidence, I was just thinking the same about you guys
All you need to do to convince me is to provide me with marketing responsibility at your largest financial daily newspaper and an appartment within 10 min walking distance from mentioned job. Mkay? Can´t wait
BTW: I have made an appointment with SSP who did the IMS upgrade to return (100 miles one way..) to have them reset the tranny + do mentioned oil change and filter - free of charge! Let´s just hope the tranny doesn´t act up on the way there...
More info on the drunk tranny here: http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/48315-drive-light-blinks-after-ims-upgrade.html
Also, feel free to have go at what this can be:
http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/48319-strange-sound-gas-cap-area-ontop-right-wheelwell.html
I have to say this again, I am humble to receive so much feedback from you guys. Much karma will be coming your way!

You are one lucky Norway dude. I don't think in 10 years I've ever heard of someone deciding to look for a failure at the very momment the IMS began its final death spiral.

Wow, I'll bet it doesn't get much closer to a catastrophic engine failure given it looks like you've lost a few ball bearings.

The remains were found in the oil pan........
I just hope the missing steel balls just fell in the pan and didn't go through the oil pumps, but looking at the debris in the pan ???

I have to correct you here. No balls are lost. There are two "washers"(?) / protective rings, before the balls. The first ring has been shaved, that is where the metal particles came from. The second ring is inctact. (I can´t remove any balls, from within the bearing housing, if I try)

Could you explain how I can see? Are there two sets of rows for the balls? (I had a few drinks last night when taking pics of the bearing..)

I don't know. Tried to figure out my engine number but wasn't able to make much sense of it.
Btw; I sent you an sms the other day, so that you have my number and want to go for a qick cruise or something...

the dual-row bearing is (by necessity) thicker and the cover is not as deep.
in the pics below the single row is on the left, dual row is on the right

does Norway offer mechanical insurance when you buy regular auto insurance?
I think someone said Australia covers mechanical repairs when you insure a vehicle.

Will be headed back to SS Performance Hovedside | SS Performance
in 3,5 hrs to reset tranny and perform the last oilchange + filter. 100 miles each way. Stay tuned for more updates. Will the pan and oilfilter be clear of metal particles? I have a good feeling. And hey! I get to drive 200 miles in my beloved Box today, yay
