link doesnt work

 

Youll be ok....shouldnt be a problem in that location.

 

If any of the pieces of metal fell in their will it damage my engine? I am pretty sure they didn't, but if they did?

 

The chip won't be a sealing problem where it is. The seal is in front of it. Hopefully, the chip will drain out with your next oil change or stick in the pump screen.
