Based on Kirin's facebook posts, he's already pulled the head is well on the
way to getting it rebuilt. It nicked up the piston and head pretty good.
Once he reads these posts, if he'll let me know if he wants me to post links
to his photos on my website or not, I'll do it.

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 small objects dropped into a cylinder will pass thru and out the
exhaust with little or no damage. 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).

Pretty sure I dropped a carb screw down it's throat when I was installing
the jet snorkels. Totally my bad.

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.
