spun bearing ?
Like today when I was golfing this morning. I hit a drive that hooked left. My friend said I almost sliced it into the woods. A slice for a right handed player would be a ball that curves to the far right of the target, not the left.. but I didn't hang him up for it, I knew what he meant.
Aluminum is non-magnetic which of course you know being a metal expert.
That's what I meant, clearance. I still measure it the same way. I know what I'm looking for.

Nice metaphor. Saying it is aluminum is also assuming, if these shavings were found clinging on the magnetic drain plug which I would suspect is the case since the engine is not torn apart yet then it probably is steel bearing material.

I tend to believe people know what they're talking about until they prove otherwise. As in your case. Try learning the difference between magnetism and ferrous metal content. (hint: your steel bearing shells won't attract ferrous metal, will they?

Most of time you spin a bearing in these motors the bearing material is in the oil and most of time its a rod bearing. Freshen the crank and rebuild, plain and simple.
No no no.. I measure CLEARANCE... good lord.. Crainholio, will you please forgive my improper diction? It's sunday, and my brain gets the day off.

sorry for the feuding in here... after reading all the post.. it is metal that was in the oil cause like stated in here a few post earlier... the shavings were on the magnetic plug.. so these shavings are more likely from what... the bearing or..? On a good note.. i found a ls1 guy here in nm that is gonna help me out on my car...not the wait begins for the money till aug

It's possible that you've had a lifter fail and score up the cam, both are made of ferrous metal which would show up on your magnet. Potentially fixable in-car depending on the failure, but you'd be pulling the heads to inspect for the condition.
