Small strip of metal fell into oil filler

[mty12345]

I found it. I drained the oil, no luck there, i loosened the rocker cover to fit a borescope in between en kept looking for over an hour, still hadn't found it, then I talked to a mechanic and he said I should just cut the timing belt and take the rocker cover off to find that piece of metal so I did. I'm getting it towed to a mechanic next week so he can retime my engine en install new belts and a waterpomp. Glad I found the piece.

Nice work, glad you found it ok
