The shop drilled the pan while off the car. i have pictures they sent me of the job showing it being drilled off the car. I am not certain where the debris is from, however it is not magnetic, appears to be aluminum and with the amount of debris i found in the oil filter, if it were from the rod bearings or crank i think the engine would be ceased by now. I sent pictures to the the shop. I am waiting to hear back from them. i guess im not sure what the next best course of action should be to resolve this.
