"surprises" found in SR oil pan!?!

Yo Zilvians, well im posting this cause im lookin out for a friend and i fear the worst for him, today we managed to drop his tomei oil pan cause it was dented from him being careless(we'll get back to that in a sec)... our main reason for working on his car was because we heard a "TAP" noise after drifting on a Sunday a few weeks back we both came to the conclusion that the "TAP" was coming from the head so we gutted the cams out and noticed that one of the rocker arms had a pretty bad flat spot and the cam lobe looked all blackish with a griddy texture come to find out that the oil rail was clogged and wasn't getting proper lube for that particular cam lobe and rocker arm well that's fixed finally and thought that's it all we have to do is drop the oil pan and bang out the dent and be happy that he can drive his car soon... HA (now getting back to the pan)
weeellllllll we popped that pan off and noticed little fragments of copper "he" didnt really think much of it but i did and told him im a little nervous about the little copper fragments. Im not 100% sure but im guessing that its either fragments of his main bearings or rod bearings WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK??? and now im thinking maybe that tapping noise came from the block! If it is either of the bearings its gonna suck telling him he wont be able to drive his shit for a LONG LONG time plus he's REAL temperamental too! Ima have too tell him over the phone rofl! ohh boy lol
