Missed the magnetic part. Scratch that.
Thanks for all the advice and suggestions guys. Really appreciate it.
It seems that the only way to find out what went wrong is to strip apart the engine.
So now I have two choices.
1) Let the engine run as it is and when it fails, get a used engine.
2) Strip the engine and while its all opened up might as well do the CNC speedshop F24 conversion.
What do you guys suggest. Especially any experience with the CNC F24 kit is highly appreciated.
Once again, I really appreciate all the advice and suggestions. Thanks

I'd run the usual engine tests, keep an eye on the spark plug conditions, and check oil usage. If all is ok, let sleeping dogs lie.
Looking at the debris, it seems there is some brass objects mixed in with the aluminum blobs. Thin, stamped things. Like part of an electric connection. You never dropped something like this into the oil filler cap, by accident, any time in the past? Maybe, the previous owner?
Good luck with the engine!

Of all the things I've seen in an S2000 oilpan, this is a first.
Is the entire engine 100% oem? As mentioned, Megan mounts are replica to oem so there's no issue there.
Feel free to mail me the pieces for inspection, I'll return them

I would say with no bad sounds or loss of power you're in good shape to just leave it alone. I work as a service engineer for a diesel engine manufacturer and of course we don't use aluminum blocks but I've seen plenty of instances of casting slag in the oil pan. they put mag plugs in the oil pan and oil pick up tube screens in there for a reason lol.
is this your daily?
If it is and you want the stroker kit, I'd go ahead and get another block and start building that just incase you need to make a hasty swap just incase some of this metal finds its way to your combustion chamber.
just my .2c . good luck with it though. doesn't seem like anything major to me.
