This was lodged into the pick up tube screen. its softer metal but not like brital but what do you think? should i be worried about bearings? One of my buddies said this is normal wear for bearings for a 93k mile ls1. The metal is about the size of fingernails

ya bru, unfortunately it was spun rod bearing... I originally forgot to cut the oil filter open but basically at the bottom of the oil pan there was oil with tiny metal flakes in it and I knew it was time for a rebuild :/
I just got the shortblock back so hopefully I'll have it running within a month but damn its been a journey. I hope its just your lifters for your sake...
