Not a good sign....usual suspect is bearing material.

sadly that's what i found in my old 7m filters. turned out to be a connecting rod bearing. best check it out, might save the crankshaft.

Yes I would agree with everything that has been said above and yes its not good news, but there is some good news it isnt knocking yet so with any luck you have caught this time and as said hopefully the crank is still spot on and will be a fairly cheap fix
