A friend with a Caterham 7 did the same thing, he was prepared to pull the pan and look at the bearings however in one of my rare lucid moments during his frantic "how bad have I screwed it up" phone call, I suggested he send a sample of the
oil out for anaylsis. The results....NO bearing material in the
oil. Worth the time and money if you really don't want to pull the pan and go that route.
Might be worth a try.
