Usually you will fine some random gold specs which are engine bearing. If the motor was rebuilt recently it might have some junk in it left over from the machining process... If its big pieces of metal your f#cked.

^....No need for anything else to be said....it's fu*ked. Shavings have already probably fused to the bearings and have screwed all your clearances....it's done.
