Disaster strikes

After a pleasant ride out this afternoon I descided to change the oil, along with the old oil out came about a teaspoon full of fine rubber particles, about the size of coffee grounds. In the previous oil change the old oil was clean. I assume that the timing chain tensioner blade is disintergrating, if there's a bright side there was no metallic particles present. Anybody had an OHC motor apart yet?
