This is probably a stupid question, but..... I had a mishap with a poorly aimed hose and I think there may be some dried grass or something in the underside of my valvecover (SR) now. Is it something to worry about or will it just burn?

Here some pictures:

Help is appreciated.

Thanks
Jake

Might as well own a lawnmower huh?

Can't you just spray some brake cleaner in there to clean that stuff out?

There's like a metal mesh stuff in there. Can you cut the seal and remove the piece?
