removal of something in cylinder head

Any body have any good Ideas on how to get something that fell
down my carburetor and now is bouncing around in cylinder on my
66 mustang 302 Without removing cylinder head ? I have tried
removing spark plugs and turning it over to try and blow it out
hole , vacuum cleaner, running hoping it would go out through
exhaust valve But still in there GRRRRRR

That is amazing! My Dad and I put a new short block in a 65
mustang back in 1978 and when installing the manifold dropped a
bolt. Looked everywhere and suspected it may have gone in the
head. Couldn't believe it did, so we went ahead and assembled.
The engine ran great, but always with a tappet sound. Yep, it
was in there bouncing on top the valve. Took the engine apart
years later and had a keep sake.
Can't use a magnet. How about a soft piece of tubing with a
glob of sticky rubber tape (Gorilla) and just probe around.

@ CG I don't think Jello will turn gel unless cold and I am
afraid jello and axle grease would just hold part to top of
piston . I will keep trying to get it out, but I have sneaky
feeling head will come off Knock is real bad. I do appreciate
all suggestions

do.

I needed a brake from the beast so I don't think I will touch
it till next week, Besides I need to wait till it gets 90
outside so I can do it in a steam bath LOL that's what will
happen

Well I got the inspection camera ! took out all spark plugs and
started looking in holes and couldn't see anything that jumped
out at me, But it has limited sight in the cylinder . The
flexible shaft has a 2 inch solid section at camera end so its
not flexible enough for me to get a view of the hole cylinder .
One of the pistons looks like something may be bouncing around
in there ,so it looks like the heads will still have to come off
. Now when I take off the intake and before I remove heads I
will use camera to see if I can see more through valve hole will
keep you posted !

Or just use some chrome paint to coat the cylinder to make my
own mirror

Well finally got energetic and removed cylinder head and this is
what I found ! But couldn't find the washer that I dropped down
carburetor, it either fell on floor when I took off head or
finally got blown through !

Not good. I feel for you. When this stuff happens to me I just
jump on it and get past it. I hate having machinery not
working. Let me know if you need help. When I was 16 I pulled
a 289 out of a '65 in less than an hour.
