No problems with the motor that are showing right now, but what the hell is this.

I think I know, but I want to see if someone else thinks it's the same thing.

Motor is a forged 408, Eagle crank, Scat rods and Diamond pistons w/ Mahle rings. Almost everything else is stock like.

Only things I can think of that look like that without a size reference is piston rings or part of the thrust bearing.

I think it's to thin to be a piston ring.
