Need help found metal parts in the oil pan
Found these parts at the bottom of the oil pan on my 06 f150 5.4l. I'm doing a complete timing job. I have no idea what they are or where they came from can anyone help me figure it out.

I believe it is the thrust washer from rear main bearing. A local parts store should be able to identify for certain.

Definitely the thrust bearing, or what's left of it. Engine rebuild time.
Not cheap labor wise but parts are.

So I assume you have the pan off.
Is the engine in the truck or out?
In a Porsche 928 auto, TBF (Thrust Bearing Failure) is not uncommon and usually ruins the block.
Have a look at the crank and the block, maybe you'll get lucky and just need bearings.

No the motor is still in i was hoping I didn't have to take it out to do a complete timing overhaul. So what kind of damage to the block are we talking about if the thrust washers were worn Hell out and in the oil pan

There is normally only one main with thrust bearing so locate that position and carefully pry the crank front and rear to inspect both the crank and the block.
I have no experience with thrust bearings on the 5.4 so don't know the likelyhood of damage. Maybe someone else can chime in with more detail.
Post some pictures if you can.

There may not be any block damage but if the bearing spun, new ones may not fit properly and the crank may have damage. And, if the crankshaft hit the block, the crank and the block could be shot or in need of serious machining.
