still figuring out the details but when i flushed the engine it looks like i dislodged some ugly deposits in the oil galleys and some collected in the pump when it all drained downwards. i guess when i started it back up, that crap clotted somewhere and killed the pressure to the crank.
not sure on how many bearings but at least 1 so far (got the call after finding out the first one looked like that)...milage is 85k.
overall this is 90% my fault for attempting something like this in the first place but i wouldn't have tried it at all if my engine did not have waning oil pressure which i'm almost positive is due to an oil sludge issue...thanks audi. it sucks, but live and learn.
