Looks like one of the lil rubber washers for the valve cover. Its common they fall in the top of the valve train area, seeing as hours theres a few of the mon there and its all inn the same place.

Also, I can't tell from the pic if that's a close-up of the orifice, or if it is one of the valve grommet things.

It definately looks like a bolt grommet for the V/C, Just take it out and be glad it didn't migrate it's way into the valvetrain. Someone probably left it there during a previous valve cover removal.

definitely DO NOT put it back inside. its a washer/gromit that goes on the outside of the valve cover, to ensure it holds in place and it doesnt leak. Just keep it as a spare . losing those is ez
