Yup, looks identical to what I found in my ls when it spun a rod bearing.

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.

I agree it does look like bearing material any motor noise and is this first time cutting open filter any reason why you did.

Not sure. There wasn't any bronze flakes on the magnet when I drained the oil but I will check tomorrow and report back

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.
