1150 Help identify where these oil jets go?

This is what I found on the bottom of the oil pan after the trackday at Thunderhill West.
The starter clutch failed after the first session, so I bump started the rest of the first day and 2nd day.
It may have partially failed prior, IE shot a pin/spring, but still reluctantly started most of the summer.
Surprisingly, the 3 bolts holding the starter clutch to rotor are intact, as well the large gear.
I recognize most of the parts, but have never seen, what appear to be oil jets, near the tape measure.
The screw probably came from the case plates behind the clutch and the countersunk chunk is a part of one of the plates.
Haven't taken the clutch cover off just yet.
The other bits are recognizable starter clutch pins and springs.
The roller was still in the starter clutch, not in the oil pan or sump.
I also have a picture of the rotor with a nick on one of the magnets.
Wondering if you experts think the rotor is still functional and where these oil jets came from.

Thanks for any help




 
Nevermind the oil jets, I just discovered where they go.

I only found two, they appear to beneath the pin and spring in the starter clutch housing (the two that shot out!)
I was looking at another spare starter clutch housing and noticed holes on the outside where the spring and pin go.
The holes were much smaller than the holes on the end of the pins.
I thought maybe the pins were stuck in the slot where they reside in my spare SC, but are actually the base, nipple facing inward (nasty)
for the spring and pin.
Something you'd never see because it's hidden under metal sheath covering the starter clutch.

Now onto the clutch side to see what's missing there.
