It goes there, no worries.

 

Looks like the oil control orifice, as seen #11 in this diagram:

missing engine oil parts= no bueno

 

they gave you a box of parts back with your car? does this seem not ok to anyone else?

 

It is not uncommon for a machine shop to not reassemble engine blocks/cylinder heads. They might disassemble things from the part they're machining, but ideally those parts should have been stripped before being dropped off in the first place.

Rarely will a customer (unless the customer is repair a shop/mechanic that has a lot of machine work outsourced) already know exactly what needs to be removed from the head or block, so the machine shop just usually takes the stuff off and just puts it in a box for the customer.

Undoubtedly that orifice would have needed to be removed prior to a deck resurfacing. I'm sure the OP did not know this, so it was left in. The machine shop took it out to their job, and did not put it back in. I'll give them kudos for even giving it back at all lol.

 

Worst pictures I've seen so far lol....and like he said at least you got it back........in a box is better than not at all ha
