Definitely not good. Not having much luck are you.
I suppose it could have come from the cam chain etc.

Bottom end is pretty robust. It the metal steel or alloy? Is it like fine powder or larger?
@Datatek have attached a photo bit hard to see but not powder more like tiny shards, I mean the sprockets were worn badly and last time was running was no knocking or anything.

If you drop the sump and can see nothing amiss, maybe it's come from the sprockets, chain & tensioners. If all looks OK, personally after cleaning the sump I would refill with oil, fill the filter housing and see what happens when you start it. (at your own risk)
Thank you will let you know when take sump off tomoz.
@Datatek didnt get far today bolts were rounded so spent all day removing them but sump seems solid in place still. Removed all the bolts including two that are in deep holes of sump and attached to gearbox. Any idea if I have missed any?

Sorry, I have never had the sump off one of these, you sure it's not just stuck? is there not a picture in RAVE?
Just found it in RAVE think just needs a knock to get it off thank you.

If you see what they charge for fitting and setting an FIP alone (presuming they do it right ) it was well worth the effort
