I actually had an upgrade done. Or at least I think I did. Lsr cam and springs, I'm sure of, but not sure about the roller rockers. Shouldn't that all come in the kit? Which if it did, that may be a piece from the old setup that was dropped by mistake.

I agree. Looks like a OEM rocker needle brg. Check the rockers.

The needle bearings are inside the rocker at the pivot point. The trunion upgrade creates a cage around the bearings to stop them from falling out. You will want to look thoroughly EVERYWHERE and see if it was just one rocker or multiple ones that spilled.
If the bearings start going through your oiling system you can end up with a toasted motor.

I'll take one this afternoon when I get home. My mechanic said that one or more of the lifters were damaged and very well could be a lifter bearing or pin.
