Well, I'm stumped. I tore the motor down expecting to find bits and pieces and the missing needle bearlings, but I found nothing out of the ordinary. Bottom of the oil pan was clean other than the thin black layer of break in lube. I also cut open the filter which I thought for sure I'd find something. Wrong. Nothing there either. I guess this is a good thing, but where could the missing needle bearings have gone? Am I missing something? As usual, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
