Found this today when I took the sump off to do the BEB's: ![Shocked :shock: :shock:](/custom/images/smilies/pack2/icon_eek.gif)

I always check my sump plug and oil for foreign objects when doing a change and I didn't find anything this time either, so ... anyway took the sump off and this was all hiding in the dregs...
There appears to be a mixture of steel shavings (like the long curly piece on the right of the above pic) and small 'nuggets' of cast steel/iron(definitely magnetic) (largest 4 x 4 x 13mm). (Its difficult to make out any features on these small pieces). My first guess is either part of the head (valve seats) or even internals from Turbo? But all guesses really.
All the lower half of the engine appears to be in good order...
So considering 'all was well' (or apparently well) before I did BEB's what should I do next? I was thinking of looking at the upper half of the head (as its not intrusive) - but anyone heard of this type of thing occurring on 1HD-T's before?
