I have not determined where the minuscule particles came from.The car works beautifully and since the IMS bearing is new I am not concerned about the source of the tiny particles.The shop I used is Louden Motorworks in Dallas.I have known Louden for many years and they have always done a great job.

I have a. 2000S.Bought it with 22500 miles.After reading all the talk about IMS failures I started cutting the oil filter looking for metal fragments.At 27500 miles I noted scattering of metal particles in the filter.I tried to see if they were picked up by a strong magnet.They were so small I literally could not tell.I talked to a Porsche independent shop and they said you must replace the IMS bearing.Well Ihad that done by replacing the IMS bearing with the LN engineering on.Guess what?The removed bearing looked like it just came from the factory.There is so much info.about the IMS bearing you have to really be careful.By the way I agree totally if it was aluminum you have a different issue.Zorat8
