What is it doing in my oil pan?
What is this? What is it doing in my oil pan? And, moreover where did the rest go?
It appears to be some sort of plastic bushing but I can't say I know of any plastic parts inside our motors other than the timing chain guides?

quite possible
22re correct?
maybe what's left of an old PCV valve grommet
they turn pretty solid after they get old, and if their attempted to just be removed, they can crumble apart and chunks will fall under the valve cove, and I guess make their way to the pan

Yeah, I had noticed some screetching and or clicking while under load but i had accounted that to the transmission giving out. I also took it to a local 22r guy with GREAT references to peek at it before i started everything, he said everything was perfect other than the exhaust leak and oil pan gasket. When I did the valve adjustment and new VC gaskets I peeked down the timing cover to check the conditions of everything but, couldnt see down far enough to get a good looksee. The previous owner said the timing chain was replaced with one that had metal guides I guess I will find out tomarrow. If it was or wasnt replaced with metal idk but the mechanic who did the jub rplaced the pan gasket with RTV...that leaked......alot...for a looong time.

What are you going to spend your penny on?
No need to worry damage caused by the small amount of stuff in the oil pan. I had a medium-sized handful of plastic guides, bolts, timing chain links and some bristles from a brass wire wheel all floating around the pan. No penny though.
