That looks like one of the balls in the rocker arm assembly. Check and make sure you didnt knock one out

[72dozer]

all the ball on the push rods are there. is that what you are refering to ?
and the truck hpop has been fixed is there something in there that the other person could have drop . I know he had some injectors out so he had it open right?

guys i need to know something my truck is tore apart and tommorow it has got to go back together ..

where is hillbilly he seems to know his stuff

I agree. That looks like one of rocker arm pivots.

[72dozer]

all of the rocker piviots are there that was one of the first i checked . is there any check valves or any thing elese that it could have came from

Simply because all the push rod balls are there now doesn't mean that he didn't loose one and replace it with another. He may not have seen where it went and just left it in there thinking it couldn't hurt anything.
Some people remove one of the push rods to make it easier to remove/install the injectors. Not a great move on his part.
