But those pieces look identical to what came out on my plug!

I'm almost 99.9% sure it comes from the timing chain. Be careful with that!! It happened to me and timing chain broke at the track like I said in the previous thread. It's a ticking bomb and very dangerous. Stop driving your car if you have that thing on your drain plug or you will bend all the valves and ruin the oil pump like I did. I'm serious
