This looks almost like the same thing as SxMachine's metal shavings in his oil pan.

My sr has a knock. Does this look anything like main, or rod bearing shavings?It does look kinda look copper I don't know what the oem bearings are made from.

Yeah I tore it down, it was a number 3 rod bearing. Gonna bring the crank somewhere tomorrow and see if it's still useableIf it is I'll probably repolish get some new bearings, pistons, and rods and maybe do a little build
