Seems like I'm going to need a fire hose to get all those shavings out. SMH.


Groovy

so how did you get these granola bits in your coolant? And also, you have what i think is a broken Cam sensor, so before mounting a new pump you should definitely replace that or make sure its not broken (appears to be broken where it goes from one part to the other idk)
You should also use a new pump, with a metal coore o ring gasket, which requires cleaning up your timing cover really nice. do you know where your long bolts go vs your short? These are all SAE bolts btw. The pulley, the wp. Use SAE sockets. Also your belt came off? What year and what application is this engine in? They made a new pulley in the series iii to correct belt walking but it was wear not jumping off
