I checked out the magnet on the other washers and thankfully they are steel and the magnet on the fishing device seems relatively strong; it would pull the washer from about 1/2" away and stuck pretty tight. So, tossed in a line, but have come up dry in all holes thus far.

Have a borescope arriving tomorrow so will try surgery instead of fishing. Will first look in all the intake runners, and failing that will note which cylinders have open valves and will look through the plug holes on those.

Not sure how good the view will be, so that will be the determining factor as to trusting the bore scope that nothing is in there. I'm already very worried as I've scoured the floor, the car and went through all my spare washer pile, and can't find a 4th washer that matches the other 3. The other 3 are relatively thick with size markings on them, so stand out from the others.
