Your engine is TOAST!

Jk, check that shield that goes between the flywheel and block, maybe it was rubbing against the flywheel gear or something.. Or maybe it's from your starter?

Are the shavings steel or aluminum? That might narrow it down.

Are you sure it's metal and not sand?

Looks like something a grinder would assuming it is metal

it could be from a resurfaced flywheel. when i had mine resurfaced, it had some tiny shavings on the back side but i cleaned them off. that could be it
