You got it. Drop the subframe brace beneath your engine then the oilpan. Check for metallic shavings. If you're serious about the inspection let all the oil from your engine drip and search where the Connecting Rod and Crank bolts. Inspect the 2 bolts for stretch and the Rod for play along with the metallic shavings anywhere.
