Well I got into M96 engines because I was going to build an electric boxster :-)
silicone in the sump is not unusual.
is the pieces hard or soft? hard brownish, dark brownish is usually an indicator

There's a chance it could be a lifter that's managed to chew up the lifter carrier (sorry I'm not really a motor head -- so I don't know the terminology)
the lifters sit in a tray that almost looks like an egg carton.

I've got a little EV knowledge as well as M96 experience,
I'm also in the Texas hood -- down in Austin
