it comes straight out-no magic.
No worries.
IMO you need to toss it anyway
Look at the bore inside take a pic if it's not smooth and show us.
The plastic breathers have a habit of picking up debris and it gets implaled in the plastic parts.
and starts
Then, in turn, it starts scraping away at the bore .
No worries.

You found your missing aluminum bits.
That bore should be smooth as silk...like a piston cylinder bore.
The plastic breather has dug it all to pieces.
You can get away with a few mars and scratches, but I would say you need that sleeved.
That is a good example of what a bad idea that plastic breather is,/was.
It is beyond shot and should have been tossed years ago.
Sorry man...
Now at least you know.

This is a common problem with plastic breathers and yours is the worse I have ever seen.
They collect metal bits like I described earlier and continually spin the debris in the bore.
Yes, you want the metal one as you posted.
Albeit I am not sure how well it will work with the bore all tore up.
I think this is is a good time to pull the engine dwn and check everything.
