Maybe you lost a chunk from the distributor gear on the camshaft, and a piece took out a chunk from the collar.

Also check your valve springs and retainers. I ran titanium retainers for a while, and the springs dug into the retainers. I didn't find chunks in the pan, but I could see how that might happen.
The collar right above the distributor gear.

I pulled the covers and everything looks good and there is no metal anywhere.
