    Depending on how beat up the washer is I would fish in the spark plug hole first.

    I didn' find anything down the spark holes or intake valve except carbon.Well i did notice that right valve of piston #6 was flooded with gasoline. So i don't know if it is bended or is there a washer of something beneath it. I notice that my #6 spark cable was bad.

    And the winner for "which cylinder tried to eat the plenum washer" is.................................drum roll...................................NUMBER SIX!!!!!!!! Seriously, the washer is probably embedded somewhere now. This won't be an easy fix, even if the washer hasn't damaged the piston beyond re-use. Good luck on repairs.

    Dang it,haha, im gonna spin the motor by the crank and see if the valve is up and try with the magnet. Lets hope for the best cuz removing the head mean messing with the timing belt and im not ready for that.

    It's probably embedded in the head surface by now... All that metal flying around is pieces of head and piston.

    Yeah I guess. Well I did use a cloth hanger wire with a hook trying to see if something came lose from the head but it didn't. I don't want to drive it like that since noise is driving me crazy and it increases and gets louder with higher rpm. All piston surfaces are black with carbon and aren't craped or shiny on any spot. Im not sure if it is safe to drive it like that.
