Default washer in timming cover

Hey guys i think i did a bad thing.I was changing my injector pump.After I got everything assembled I was taking out the bolts for the gear puller I used to pull the pump gear.Anyone who has seen this before knows the bolts for the puller are about 1/4 inch or 8mm in diameter(didn`t check but who cares now its done)but one of the washers being used for the puller on those bolts fell into the timming cover through the breather hole.It`s less than a 16th of an inch thick and already bent all to hell and back from the puller.Think all those gears will shred it?Any ideas on how to get it out without removing all of the pullys and removing the cover?

That washer has the potential to wreak havoc in there. Don't start or move the engine until you get it out. I would try fishing with a flexible magnet for a while before tearing it down. You might get lucky.

Do not start it!

A few hours of labor is gonna save you big money.

All I gotta say is KDP.
