I found this (well the dirty part of this) in the oil after an oil change and found the 2 clean bits in the rocker cover when checking the valve clearances.

One of the valves clearances was out by a whole lot too.

I'm assuming that it's something to do with the valve train a spacer or something but not having pulled one apart yet I'm not 100% sure which part it is though and how easy it's going to be to fix.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

It seems to be a plastic, just searched for the valve stem seals, seems like that'd be it. Thanks.

That's a bit less of a worry, I had all sorts of expensive thoughts, now I just have to figure out why it's running worse after the valve adjustment.
