Parts in the oil drain pan. What are they?

Changed the oil in my clone and found some very small steel parts in there. Is this from the compression release? And if so, can I just remove the compression release all together? I run an electric starter anyway. The cam is a Dyno 310-224.

doesn't look like compression release too me . it could be if its a 390 or bigger as i haven't had one apart . but yes with electric starter its not necessary .
Though it may hesitate a bit on the first hit of the button , depending on which starter . .

If you ran the engine at all with those fragments still inside, chances are that significant damage has been done somewhere within the shortblock/cylinder head…🫪
