Is this bearing material in my filter?

Send a sample of the oil in for analysis so you'll know for sure and know what all is in there. Knowing you have a bearing problem doesn't mean you don't also have a ring problem, for example.

Not sure. There wasn't any bronze flakes on the magnet when I drained the oil but I will check tomorrow and report back
Where do you send the oil?
More bearing clearance!
I got on the truck really hard from a stop sign a while ago. It blew both header gaskets out and caused a tick/knock when i did it. I can't hear the knock at idle, only when there is load on the motor. So any acceleration whatsoever causes it to tick. Once I let off the throttle, it goes away. Figured it was a bearing. Not sure if it is a main or rod though. This is what I found when I opened up the filter.
