All belts are off, huh. I'm still convinced it is metal to metal. What about your Turbos ? Suspect any damage in there where vanes are scrapping ? Any clutch damage ? Maybe a broken finger protruding out into the rotating mass. Pilot bearing

Whatever it is I'd say you see a pile of metal shavings left behind from your recording sessions.

My guess is they're busy pulling apart the engine.

Easy. One of the 68 vacuum hoses popped off of a broken solenoid valve nipple.
