This is not normal wear but I'm not sure what it is. Maybe if I can look at the metal closer I might be able to figure out what part it was...

I hate to quote myself but I would really like to see a Macro picture of the metal if you could remove that from the oil filter. I think it would help us identify what it is even though it has been mashed up being run through the oil pump. I see copper in the oil catch pan picture too. I think you motor has very bad damage in the lower end and most likely will have a bad to catastrophic failure soon if this is not addressed.

Sorry, John Smith
