It does not matter what triggers it. What the Guardian will do is alert you to the fact that there is substantial ferrous grit accumulating in the oil system; regardless of where it comes from, it is an extreme danger to the engine and requires immediate cessation of running the engine until it can be examined to find out why it was triggered. Without it, you would blindly continue to grind the Hell out of the internal components until total failure occurred. Could be an IMS issue, could be a cam or cam follower coming apart, could be a rod or main failing, or any one of a number of common failure points; but it still would be caught before it tore the engine apart, and possibly allow the engine to be saved.
