71 Duster 360 (new project)

well..if this aint the *****.....ok...engine had a small oil leak in front of engine....figured it was the timing chain seal....and it was leaking...
Found this chunk of aluminum lying on top of the crank sprocket....actually getting ground up by the crank sprocket....
well...what is aluminum inside the engine......Pistons.....I am assuming we have a broken piston.....plus we got the grinding of the aluminum in the motor...not taking a chance....was going to pull engine and replace one piston .....and I dont even know if there is any other damage.....

plus a ground was ground in the timing chain cover too....
