I got a 2007 SS N/a 2.4 I am the origional owner and never had the engine broke apart.
It's been blowing oil like a powerstroke, fouling plugs and going into limp mode. and with a compression trail from left to right of 80, 95, 130, 130. I figured it's time for a overhaul.
I pulled the valve cover intake electrical ect. Then went for the oil pan before removing the chain and head and found this plastic bracket and a bolt in the bottom. The crank side looks good I can't find nothing Broken, piston oilers are all there is have no clue what this is.
Yeah your front timing chain guide broke. Most likely you have some lightly bent valves. I'd pull the head and carefully inspect everything, odds are it's off timing and has been for a while now.
