Mystery bearing? HELP

Hey everyone, I’m working in a 94 warrior engine. I split the case and went through the motor, only thing I didn’t pull was the crank, as I was going to join the case halves together, what I believe to be a needle from a bearing fell out. I have looked at every parts diagram and cannot figure out where it came from, the only needle bearings I see are for the rod to crank and behind the flywheel.
