Horrific pile of szwarf down in the pick up screen in the sump ,
not only desiccated plastic from Audi's .... water pump gear but left over 3 bond gasket sealant .
It was almost completely blocking the oil pick up .
I think I have dodged a massive bullet by inspecting further into the engine ,
the oil filter was clean with zero sign of debris but if this had impinged the oil pick up any more it would of been game over .
What a setup by design to have your bike overheated and or starved for oil thus catastrophically damaged! I am glad you went with steel gears , I am doing this as we speak...like I said make sure to coat those gears with some assembly lube or oil to help with lubrication on first startup.
