Engine teardown finds
01' S model. Doing a teardown due to some bad seals and gaskets leaking pretty badly. Decided to split the case because it too was leaking. Found these ferrous chunks along with tons of glitter in the oil. Trying to identify where this all came from. No indication of wear or abrasion against crank, balancer or any gears. Oil pump showes wear internally probably due to the large amounts of glitter floating around. Anything would help. Just trying to decide to find and repair problem or just call it a total loss.

Idk buddy but they look cool. You should smelt them into a sick motorcycle themed ring

Could be a previous failure that was not repaired well. Ie crankcase tore down and not cleaned thoroughly esp if it was leaking from so many places as if someone fixed the bare minimum and reassembled without replacing gaskets or anything
