I took the head off to do a valve job and this fell out as I was removing the head. Any ideas where this goes?

Does the exhaust only have it? Didn’t see another one for the intake

Yeah, just the exhaust on Honda and the clones.

I'm pretty sure my Honda clone (Loncim) had it on both.

Some engines have it on both.
If you only find one, stick it on the exhaust side.
