When your original vacuum-pump failed, were you able to fish the missing bits out of the oil-pan or oil pump-screen? Did you suffer any engine damage?
I installed the new pump last night and everything seems to b working fine. Never found the one missing ball. I can only hope it may have come out with the oil, or will eventually make it's way harmlessly to the oil-pan like it's 11 brothers.

Happy Motoring, Mark
