Message	dropped a tiny washer through my intake runner, slipped past the open valve and landed in the cylinder. 100 dollars to rent a scope, 2 hours of dissemble time on the plenum 2 hours carefully scoping each cylinder and valve for damage and debris 2 hours of reassemble on the plenum 20 dollars in a second set of gaskets a lifetime of agony thinking I damaged my motor. and all it should have cost me is 3 dollars worth of tape and 1 minute to cover the ports. lesson learned.
