You can try snaking a borescope in the drain plug opening,
if more break off, you will have a big window in the block to look into.
I thought the 12hp K301 had 2 balance gears in it.
This appears to be a very small piece of a tooth off a tiny gear.
I will look in the oil drain pan & see what I can find in there with a magnet the oil is black.
