At the mileage & age you have on the car & engine, everything that shows wear or aging should be replaced while the engine is out. What year is the car?
OK, so next you should use a magnet to see how much of the debris you found is magnetic. Your 3rd pic, the last full size pic, are those long strips magnetic? What year is the car & engine?
