Default Alumium pieces in oil lines

Could anyone tell me why I'm getting alumium pieces in the oil, I broke 3 oil
pumps already, The chain is new and tight. I flushed the crankcase and the
cooler out. Its ok on low rpm's but it sounds a little different on high rpm's.
Please tell me what else to check. Thanx

What kind of quad do you have? Check out your clutch, sounds like the basket is coming apart to me. If it is, replace it with a Hinson basket, they are lighter and 500% stronger than stock. Unless you have a gear rubbing the case or major top end damage, there really aren't any other moving aluminum parts.

I have a Kawasaki a prairie 360 4 x4 I also replaced the front chain guide, it
waas in bad shape, I don't no where these alumium pieces are comming from?
I didn't no the clutch had any thing to do it. I was wondering if I could drain the
oil and run the engine for about a couple of seconds with the cam gear cover off.
To see if the chain is running true. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
