    What model of detroit is it from 60 series? And is the engine running smooth? First thing that comes to mind is it some type of valve spring washer or a injector component? Whats the engine history could it be a left over from a previous repair or failure that was lost in head and worked its way over time into crankcase? I am very curious as to what it is aswell.

    My best guess is head bolt washer.

    Truck is 07 Freightliner with Detroit with EGR. It has 778k miles on it. I has not had any engine work done to it, that I know of. It is running good and getting good fuel mileage.

    It doesn't look like anything that is part of piston or valve. I wouldn't worry just take valve cover off and look for that peice on the top of jake. If it was part of valve you would have dropped a valve by now.
