Sweet thanks mate.
well yeah those are probably most of the shavings that were in my oil how bad do you think that looks?

no question, that's not normal. That's a lot of metal. Looks like the oil is metallic covered too?

Yeah looks like very fine shavings but im thinking the cylinders might be ok as there was no blue smoke comming out the exhaust last time I ran it so im hoping it's just the bearings gonna have to strip it down now right?

I've come to the conclusion that if the block is still ok I will persevere and rebuild the engine of course the only way to do that is to take the engine out and strip it down so that what I'm gonna do thanks for the help ill keep you posted

Yep, the only way to know is to strip it all down.

Good luck with it and do keep us posted, will be interesting to see...
