I can't see water putting a hurt on a valve.
I can, however, see it messing with the carb. Have you cleaned it? Idle passage is probably partially plugged. I'd also check for vacuum leaks at the manifold and around where the carb seals to the manifold. All your vacuum lines in good shape?

All your vacuum lines in good shape? i had a spare carb and intake manifold installed both a month ago. yesterday removed the egr system, to my knowledge their are no other vacuum leaks but i've been wrong in the past. water by itself may not hurt but what about running the engine when it is bucking like a bull? at the time i was very concerned but needed to get to work. regardless i'm still going to pull the head to inspect when i have time. hopefully tomorrow. |

Its either something we've never seen before " if it came from the engine" or purposely put there , if not accidentally during manufacturing / assembly. |

It looks exactly like the retaining clip/spring that fell out of my performance plug boot. I tried to find a picture of one, but my Google fu is weak on this one.

Only way is if you pull the plug boot when the valve cover is off. Then it could make it down the cam chain shaft. There is nothing internal that size, so it must have come from outside

There is nothing internal that size, so it must have come from outside I've seen the clip before , your talking about the one that holds the boot to the plug ? Now is there three of them that where in the engine ? That clip is usually bent on the end almost in an L shape. |

Most look like a fat D. The one in my "performance" boot was rectangular with three or four windings

Valve seal spring is the only thing close to looking like those pics.... Look at this valve seal... see the band that runs around it? That's the only engine part I know of that looks even close to what those metal bits look like.  |

Those pieces are circular, the pieces he found are rectangular, just like the probe clip inside the performance coil/boot sold by many dealers, including Scrappy's where I bought mine.

maybe the clips that hold the piston pin in place?
