Oil Pan Debris. Beginning of the End?

[san rensho]

If they are hard brown plastic bits, they are no concern, just bits of the plastic chain ramps breaking off. I had about that much plastic debris The first time I pulled the sump plate.

Yep, have had them in mine a time or two. You are OK.

Yeah, definitely not sealant. The bits are made of hard material, but not magnetic. They don't look like metal at all and my best guess is that they are plastics.
If these are indeed the timing chain pad/ramps as suggested. What are the implications? "Normal" wear with no consequences or do parts need to be replaced?
