Hmmm - How did that get in there???

While adjusting the valves on my truck for the 1st time myself today I noticed something sitting next to the bottom of the intake valve spring on the #5 cyl..

Appears to be a dust cover from an unused electrical plug? Not sure how long its been in there

I have had my valves adjusted twice in the past - just another reason that (when possible) vehicle maint is best done by the owner.
