That's a piece of a timing chain rail. If you haven't pulled the valve covers yet to inspect the rails, do that when you have time.

While the oil pan is off, make sure to replace the large O-ring for the level sender electrical connector at the side of the block (single wire goes from sensor to connector). Or replace the sending unit, it comes with new O-rings.
