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.

Mine was a disaster; skipped the timing chain, distroyed the sprockets and guides, cracked the cam cover, etc. I spent about $2k having it all put back together. There was a big hole in the side of the vacuum pump and pieces everywhere in the engine. I probably should have just replaced the engine, but I didn't know the extent of the damage.
