Your engine is TOAST!

Jk, check that shield that goes between the flywheel and block, maybe it was rubbing against the flywheel gear or something.. Or maybe it's from your starter?

HAHA thanks lol. the starter looks fine none of the teeth are messed up looking. the sheild looks ok but wouldent i have heard some thing. if its not the motor or tranny im all good. its getting rebuild with forged stuff..

Are the shavings steel or aluminum? That might narrow it down.

Are you sure it's metal and not sand?

Looks like something a grinder would assuming it is metal

it could be from a resurfaced flywheel. when i had mine resurfaced, it had some tiny shavings on the back side but i cleaned them off. that could be it
