Let's play "What's in that oil pan!"

Bought a 2010 engine that may have spun a bearing. Only had 38k miles and was 300 bucks. Was going to try to use it for a forged bottom end for the TT build. I definitely see bearing material.

Magnet picked up a bunch of stuff. There was aluminum left behind. Going to drop the upper pan and remove the shield tomorrow to get a closer look

My guess is that there was an oil gallery gasket issue and it lost oil pressure. Not sure when ill be able to pull the front timing cover. Just speculating.
