That chunk of metal is alarming...the two starts boils down to annoying...
That metal isn't some extra bit that finally was rid of...it's important...my gut says rod bearing...there just isn't a whole lot of opportunities for a chunk of metal to appear...
You just bought it...the seller has sensed a problem
Take it apart...do your due diligence and gain piece of mind...or don't...part it out before it's a write off
If it's not knocking like there's a problem there's still a chance...if it already is...stop running it...cranks can be ground true again but it's a fine line between scrap and salvage
