Yea those are needle bearings from your roller rockers!! I changed my oil last year and the same thing happened to me found needle bearings but my warranty took care of that!! You need new roller rockers and you gotta clean the oil pan and engine to get rid of the rest of the needle bearings!!!

I usualy would have just fixed it myself but I was in a hurry and i dont have garage here,lol
