washer down #2 cylinder

[mikedalcollo]

I made a dumb mistake, a washer fell down my#2 cylinder while my spark plug was out! I'm at tdc #1....would I be able to get to it through the exhaust or intake mani? 96 tracker, 1.6 any help would be appreciated!

hope it steel
use magnet on a stick.
thru spark hole, tdc or btc.
the washer will not go up hill to head , no running.
put cylinder to btc, and see if you can see it with a flash light, i you can see it , you get it.
mag stick
or the prong stick. claw pickup tool...

it was on the end of the mag stick I use to get plugs out, it fell off in the process. won't do that again. stick is too big to get that far in. will get something smaller. so if that doesn't work.....head off?
