hi
looks like condensation that did not get burned off due to not running engine long enough to boil out moisture .
condensation left in the oil creates acid that eats the metal .

the shineness may have been the bad bearing materials being washed out and balling up or scrubbing the bearings on the way out Condensation as a big problem with most interanl combustion motors that don't get use very often and sit a long time bewteen using them, IE airplanes, boats, motorhomes and motorcylces Clean the rods and crank up and install a new set of rod bearings and you should be golden I try to make sure when I know a toy is going to sit a long time that I take it out and drive it long enough for the oil to get hot and circulate the oil real good when hot and then park it, no starting it up in between using it the next time for a long drive again
