Well if anyone can guess where I found this....
and it just happened to do.... this.....
I wish I had the picture of when it was still attached to the head. It actually broke off from the coil cover bolt, then on the next rotation it pressed itself in between where the valves are supposed to be.... Made a nice little indentation into my cylinder, and well put a 1/4 inch deep hole in my head along with mashing it up a little bit.....
One thing after another, the bolt must have fallen in without me noticing while changing plugs out. Since I had all the little bolts for the cover partially screwed into the head not to lose them. Motor turned over about 4-5 times before the starter wouldn't turn over anymore. I hoped for the battery to be going dead fearing the worst. I had just spent the previous 9 hours reinstalling my head/cams/gears/clutch, accessories motor and so on...
If anyone has a spare rb25 valve and a spare headgasket for sale.. *cough cough* Darius... let me know I'm going to take it to my machinest and have him install another and clean up my head....
Someone above really wants this car to never touch pavement again.
