Found this in my oil

Anyone know what it is? bearing, part of valvetrain, or piston?

The engine makes no weird noises, how bad should i be worried?

Looks like a cylinder liner... I have some chunks of mine that broke off and it looks exactly like that.

Holy shiet! Dude you just pulled out two big chunks of metal from you motor. The larger piece has a weird surface in the first pic. It almost looks flat.

Don't know exactly what part they came from, but I'd be worried. I'd tear it down and find the source of the problem.

I'm not sure exactly what it is but this i can tell you.....it ain't supposed to be there. Tear that thing down and fix it before you have bigger problems.

+1 Lifter. The outer rounded edge of teh larger piece in the second picture looks to be about the diameter of a lifter. Pull the valve covers and see if a pushrod has a lot of play in it from a broken lifter.
