I used a magnet to scoop up all fragments in the oil pan. Some parts are 2, may be 3 rings, 1/4" diameter and 1/4" wide. The other is of irregular shape. Cannot tell what they are but is circular shape with small diameter.

Any idea where they came from inside the engine. They were small parts.


All fragments, ring on lower portion of picture


Probably 2 ring bands.
