Default Changed Oil found little pins on plug (help)

Found small pins on my oil plug.. This maybe left overs from my broken timing chain from my dyno run. I have a double roller chain on now, I don't think its from the new chain. I'm trying to insert a picture but I don't know how.
I just want you all to see these to make sure its the pins on a timing chain and not something else. Please help.. Thanks

When you are putting in a picture, you need to be in advance for posting.
open the picture up on your computer with paint.
goto Image on the top toolbar, and select sketch skew..
you want to get the picture size down so you can attach it.
I believe there is a limit to the size.. Think limit is 100


I would like to see this.

Could be needle bearings from one of your rockers...

It was needle bearings! I found the broken rocker.. Thanks for the picture posting help. Found out that I was told the wrong torque of 32lbs for my rocker arms and not 22lbs.. (i have dual springs w/mild cam and ling. heads)

Change your oil and put 2 magnets on the oil pan.
