Copper part is the conrod side thrust washer from the crank shaft.
Bet you find the conrod blue from heat.
Usually caused by corrosion on the needle rollers then run. Engine sat in a humid hanger ?

Hey K Dilks,
This Quicksilver belong to a guy that fly it almost every weekend.
The hangar is not humid but here in Central America the weather is almost 100% humidity Since this country is like inside a Rainforest BUT on the club there are like five Quicks with 582 with more hours and they have not fail this way.
I hope this next weekend I will open the crank case and I will check for that color on the rod and will take pics.
Thx for your time and help,
Isaac

FWIW, a good friend of mine in TX had a similar failure with his 582 after about 150 hours. The parts didn't make it into the rest of the engine but the big end of the PTO rod had more or less almost welded itself to the crank. The thrust washers had melted and the remains had squished out the sides (like the washer had been made of thick mud)....
In that case the runout on the PTO end of the crank was way way out. What we think happened in that case was the excessive runout was causing the rod to ride on the ends of the needles rather than on the center. Perhaps everything just got too hot finally and just melted the works down.
The replacement crank - a factory new - also failed shortly after that, again with the excessive runout that was caught at the next 150 hour before the engine quit. The runout was within new everywhere on the crank when he put it in, but had gone out at some point in the next 150 hours.
This is the main reason I'm not real thrilled with the 582. It does seem to spool up the cranks a little more often than the other 2-strokes (which seem to hardly ever give crank problems).....

Ok, here are the pics of the bad crankshaf area were you can see that both cooper washer are missing. Also look the dark black color meaning overheating..................You can see also a lot of metal debriss.

This other pic, is from the Crankshaft area from the piston that was in good condition. You can see both cooper washers.

I notice surface corrosion on the "good" rod. It may be that a closer
examination of the bearing will reveal that it too is not in great shape.
The 582 suffers from corrosion because it can be totally open to the
environment depending on how the rotary valve stops. I plug both carbs on
mine. I hope it will prevent moisture getting in.
