I wont know any answers to that, until we dismantle the engine. I plan to get it to a reputable engine builder to do that by the end of the month, but it could be December before I know what we find.
In the mean time, here is a picture of the bits that fell out of the oil drain when we drained the oil.

I'm trying to figure out what the smaller bits are. From the pictures they don't appear to have the same finish as the rod bolts. Do they have what appears to be a ground finish to them?
Can you post pictures of the smaller bits from different angles. They appear to be cylindrical pieces. The three pieces look broken on one side and flat on the other.
I'd like to the the "tops and Bottoms" of the cylinders. if possible.
