So this was in the bottom of my oil pan. Engine is out. It is not Thrust washers, and no rod bearings seem to have any excessive play. It is not from the timing chain tensioner. Center Main bearing looks great. Any ideas? These are large copper colored shards, pic below. Appears to have some steel on them too, maybe. Maine and Rod bearings are the king Tri-Metal and were calico coated. No sign of coating on these shards. Anyone have a best guess? Can’t find any play anywhere...
