uhh, that looks to be a wrist pin clip.
I'd be worried!
It is metal, correct?

I agree..

Just finished a rebuild that used those spiral locks for wrist pins - don't see them being able to fall out like this.

I would be concerned that without the clip, the wrist pin will scoot off to the side and score the cylinder - especially if it's built and using floating pins rather than the pressed-in type.

Did you do the rebuild? Does it look like the clips you used?
