340 with metal in oil pan

To all you people who thought it was a valve seat.... how in the **** can it get in the oil pan without a hole in the m'fn piston...


Valve lock seemed possible, but they dont look missing in the pic.

So what about a piece of pin boss, or how about a ruler next to the debris so we can give a more educated guess here...it could very well be the bottom of the locks...they do look deep in the retainer

I was sittin back kinda snickerin about that myself. lol
