Funny you should say that because I just came in from dropping the sump. The only particles I found were all collected in the deepest part of the sump, in the circular depression in the middle of the windage tray. They were extremely fine, almost flour like. If the amount I found stuck to the back of the bearing measured a total volume of, lets say, 10, the amount in the tray would be .01 I need to find my magnet to confirm that they are ferrous, but I think they probably are. There were several "worms" stuck in the oil pump screen. Thankfully I had read about that today and know they are Loctite 5900 that was probably over applied to the mating surfaces.
