Bearing Swarf

Hi all,

I decided to change my primary fluid tonight when I got home. Drained it all checked the magnet and there were a few bits of swarf but nothing special.

Anyway, tipping the oil away I came across some bits of metal that look suspiciously bearing related...



Now I have previously drained the shovel transmission into my container (and various other things) and like a muppet hadn't bothered to clean it out.

I did find some bearing bits in the shovel trans, looked like this...



So my question is, does the top picture look like anything likely to be lurking in a Twin Cam primary or is it just shovel remains?

Cheers,
Rob
