I'm presuming that the valve collet is steel of some sort here. Rather
than trying to find it by looking, just get one of those magnets on a
extension stick, and run it around the area. Much easier than tring to
find a small part in a dark corner. and the tool will prove useful again
and again when you drop small parts.
