uh oh look what i found! Hey guys, I was changing the oil in my Z today when i found this attached to my drain plug 
. It looks like a needle bearing , but my question to you is from where? possibly a rocker arm? , Keep in mind i work at a garage and it is possible that one of the funnels i was using had it stuck in there and it slipped in when i poured oil down the funnel. and also i do not hear any funny noises, or get any weird response when i do this , if any of you could help it would be appreciated. Thanks alot guys -- Mike
IF the image doesnt work could someone please let me know, it shows up on my screen But i dont know if it actually works for you guys.
uGH, if the link doesnt work just go here you can see all the pics, i took off the drivers side valve cover and snapped some pics of the rockers but i dont think i got the right side.

Yes, it looks like a roller bearing and there is a GM TSB
out on this problem. Whether you can get warranty
satisfaction at this point, I don't know, but it is a
manufacturing defect based problem so I'd go for it.
That, and one of more of your rockers is probably
well and truly screwed.
