Chunks in oil pan


So I was changing the oil pan gasket and found these in the pan... I am assuming this from when my timing assembly had exploded and dropped down in to the pan, however, timing was fixed about 6k miles ago and it’s running fine (I hope) can anyone help me with what these pieces are (especially the rounded aluminum one on the left?)

Looks like old dipstick/timing chain guide/lower timing chain guide from the timing cover remnants. What parts were changed with the timing service?

I agree with tej98. I had a similar problem, went to change my oil pan gasket and the oil pan was full of Timing Chain Guide. The service history stated the guides were change by the dealer which they were. I went to change the the guilds which were all in one piece, but since I bought new ones, I changed them anyway. The point being, the Dealer did change the old broken Chain Guides and knew there were tons of broken bits,but did not bother to drop the Oil Pan to clean out the garbage....

The Stealership strikes again! Did you check your invoice to see if they charged you for a new pan gasket anyway? Wouldn't be remotely surprised...

The guides were changed by the PO. I'm the 2nd owner. The PO took meticulous care of Scarlet and had detailed Dealer Service records. The records actually show the Oil Pan gasket was changed after they changed the Guides, that was a lie, if they did, I would not have found all those pieces in my oil pan. I posted pics in an earlier post.
