Let's see who can tell me what and where it comes from!

Little end bearing

300 Tdi valve cap with the guts flogged out?

its a starter motor bush which you bashed out of shape removing it.

Hi Grimace

If that ring was left over after you did the head on a 300 TDi, I would worry, as it would be a dowel ring, Part number ETC8352 and there are two of them to locate the head on the block.

the engine is a 3.9 V8

Hi Grimace

If that ring was left over after you did the heads on a 3.9 V8, I would worry, as it would be a dowel ring, Part number 602040 and there are four of them, two of them per side on the block, locating a head.

Cheers Arthur

Its the insert from the rocker cover gasket to stop it squishing out when tightened down.
