thats definitely a piece of a bearing. its curve isnt that great though so i would guess a peice of a main cap because a main journal baring measures about 2 to 2.5" across. a cam bearing is only a bout 1.75" across. if your engine is still pulled out or even if its not, find and fix the problem before you start it up a again! let us know what you find man.
