Found bearing in new motor, whats it from I found something in the oil. The new motor has been run for around 50-80 miles. I know that one of them is a rocker arm needle bearing, because my old motor blew up a rocker arm. But this time I had them replaced with the Harland Sharp modified stock rocker arms, were they put a c-clip to keep the bearings in case the rocker arm exlpodes. The other part looks like a bearing of some sort. I used the same heads that were on the previous motor that had a bunch of problems, so maybe these metal parts were stuck in the heads somewhere. The engine shop is closed for the weekend, so I have to wait. Thanks to Sycotic Reject for hosting it for me!

Im thinking it must be from the previous motor. Because with that motor when the rocker arm exploded, I didn't find all of the pieces. It was missing a piece like that. And if it exploded this time, wouldn't there be a lot more needle bearings, not just one. I am wondering how it got through the oil filter though. I will try to cut the filter in half and see if anything else is in it. thanks
Piece of stock rocker arm and a needle bearing.
