I found all of this in the back side of my passenger side valve cover, one was found in the driver side, My car has been running great without any problems. What is it?

 

The top left object looks like one of the vacuum fittings from the intake manifold. No clue on the other stuff.

That's one hell of a find!

 

Just a wild guess...Maybe pieces of valve guide seals???

 

Yup, the green and metal are at least one valve stem seal. And the other is obvious.

 

Ditto. Make sure you have good valve stem seals on all your valves.

Now I bet you may be wondering what could be in the oil pan.....

 

The black elbow looks like the piece that pushes into the grommet toward the rear of passenger side valve cover, and connects to the hose from the throttle body (PCV fresh air supply).

 

looks like the spring clip failed on atleast one valve stem of your seals, then it got chewed up in the rockers. I would be nervous about the oil pan after a find like that. How the 90 degree elbow got in there is anyones guess....

 

If it is a valve guide, it should be pretty obvious as to which one is missing.

 

OUCH, those almost look like bearings. ---

 

whats more puzzling is one of these pieces was in the driver side valve cover and the rest were in the passenger side.

 

those are without a doubt the remains of several valve seals most likely felpro's judging by the color

im also willing to bet you are running dual valvesprings and the inner spring isn't jiving too well with your seals

 

Yep, those look like the remains of valve seals alright! Do you have any blow-by at all?

 

So it looks like it might be a damper spring and valve stem seals, where do I go from here , Money is tight, Am I losing performance? Should I stop driving it? Whats an easy fix

 

i know what it was, it was weakness coming out of the motor. man does look like valve stem seals though!

 

stronger dampers?
