Re: Stuff in cylinder...

Snap On and others make a pencil sized magnet that will easily fit into the
spark plug hole.  I would rotate the engine (by hand only) to get the piston
up close to top dead center.  Then use the magnet in that cylinder to probe
for the missing piece.  You have to do the engine rotation by hand to try to
feel the broken piece on the top of a cylinder wedge against the head.  If
you hit any interference, stop before the metal piece is forced to do some
damage.  Good fishing!
