You need to determine if the metal is ferrous (magnetic) or non-ferrous before you can jump to any conclusions. Timing chain/sprocket failure can put ferrous metal in the oil also. Many times the mode of failure can only be determined by tearing down the engine to see what has failed. In any event, you might have caught it in the nick of time.
As I recall, someone at Chris's German Auto Repair in Bellevue has taken Jake's engine rebuilding class last year, if it comes to that.
