You could try filtering the recently installed oil through a very fine filter a few times instead of putting new in everytime you flush.

The magnet may have not have picked up any babbit by the way as I believe babbet is non magnetic. Some will show up in the oil filter probably with time. Anyways it sounds like you are going to get away with everything so far.

What overall your post does indicate is that if the bearings in the vacuum pump grenade they must all be accounted for before the car goes back into service. Or a really strong magnet placed somewhere close to the oil pickup to grab it if not all accounted for.

There was a member reciently that could not find one bearing. I forgot to mention that perhaps an alternative was possible rather than just ignoring it as that is too dangerous. He had searched high and low for the single missing bearing without results.
