Debris in oil pan

[Skull]

hello.

today i found this.

what could it be? somebody recognises some engine part? (some kind washer or something, maybe a part of the oil pump?)

[topsparky]

that does n't look good mate

the pieces are not magnetic, but are not aluminium either, and neither should be lead, it doesent bend, it cracks quickly.

[topsparky]

could it be part of the plastic baffle in the rocker cover
where the oil filler hole is?
when i changed my rocker cover gasket
i removed mine because it was all brittle
and did n't want to get any parts in the engine

Looks like you have a little water contamination too judging by the white sludge.
Wierd picture though looks a bit matrixy, or it might be due to the amount of christmas cheer i've had.

this debris could be years old, and it looks like something (some pump?) grinded it to pieces.

could be an old oil cooler failor , and that is why they changed your coolant expansion tank after flushing the sytem
