Metal dust in motor, WTF is it?

[fiveohpatrol]

i've heard of shops that say they clean your parts and just do a half *** job on them, when i had my crankshaft polished they said they cleaned it but i washed it out too and actually a lot of metal dust came out of the oil holes, im guessing this is what your problem is, i'd pull your motor, clean it out completely and check out your bearings, contrary to what your "mechanic" said i would NOT drive it if you want it to not seize up on you, good luck with it
