Kirin, You might try a flexible digital camera borescope w/light source in thru the sparkplug hole to get a look see inside the cylinders. I have one.

Some objects bounce around in there for a while and create lots of damage to the piston top and head chamber. Usually when you take the head off you find what’s left of the object and can confirm what it is (was!). I stuff a blue rag into the carb throat(s) while doing such work on an assembled engine. You could also add a magnet in the area to attract a dropped item (if it’s steel). Mike B.

Totally my bad. -Kirin On Thu, Jan 24, 2019, 12:49 PM No Quarter <[email protected] wrote: Did you ever figure out what or how that piece of hardware made it into your engine Kirin? So much work for such a simple anomaly.
