Default Broke something in head

Well I'm in the process of taking the head off my d15b7 to replace the head gasket. I was trying to take this out and it broke. I have no clue what this is or what it does. Does anybody know, hopefully I didn't screw myself over...

Sorry for cell phone pics

Just posted a couple more. It is just hooked up to the wiring harness.

That looks like the Temp Gauge sensor.

I don't understand why you tried to take it out. It should just unplug allowing you to leave the sensor in the head. Atleast on every Honda engine I have worked on thats all you have to do.

Well unfortunately the guy that put this motor in I guess broke the connector that just unplugs so he just wired it directly.
