Thanks all. Going to try a borescope and see if I can see it, then a flexible magnet, and then the vacum trick.

What kind of lure to washers prefer ? ;-)

Angry Fishing tips

Pull the plugs and see how they look? If oily, might be an intake gasket leak, sucking oil into the cylinders? Do a leak down test to see if the rings are sealing ok?
