roller bearings stuck to oil plug.... I went to drain my oil today so i can tap the oil pan for the turbo oil return. I found what looks like some roller bearing on the oil plug. I hope someone can tell me maybe what they are from like maybe the stock oil pump? I heard they were weak and that would be a easy fix for me..

Yep, one of my stock rockers popped a few months ago... ended up yanking one of the heads and cleaning them out, since a few of them got jammed in lots of different places. 
Make sure you pull the bad rocker and account for all the needle bearings... there's 33 in each side of the rocker.

Does anyone have the stock rocker arm part #?
Also do you think i could of did this while I was changing the valve springs? I find hard to beleive because I would of saw the bearings in the head. The car hasn't been started since the valve spring swap.

There is a way to cure that. Just send your rockers to Nasty's Performance and they will uprade them with new trunions and C_CLIPS. It is a kit from Harland Sharps and ByeBye bearing problem. $~250
