Found all the missing pieces in an oil passage....*pics*
After a nice weekend in Vegas, I spent a little time in the garage tonight. I took off the head and found all this good stuff crammed into the oil return passage...

Dave.........you did work on his engine recently; did you re-mount the tensioner? If everything else is good then the problem happened at the tensioner or a head fracrure........unreal!

Exactly what happened to mine when the tensioner pad broke, evidently the same thing happens to 944 and 968's i.e. the mounting point for the tensioner breaks. I feel for you and good job for not getting too discouraged.
I found small fragments all the way to the oil pump but none further on (I split the block just incase), unlike our 4 banger bretheren the 928 continues to run on 4 cylinders which only helps ingest the debris.

Man, Big Dave, that's a load of junk. I'm almost surprised you didn't find some old coins, a few pertrified french fries and a wedding ring down there.
