Just for kicks buy a powerful permenant magnet, grab it securly with something- maybe a good set of mechanical fingers with a little electrical tape around it?? And fish it around a bit. You have nothing to lose at this point, and it will only take a minute. You are going to need a pretty good list of sealants to put it back together as well. I suggest Loctite anerobic gasket maker- napa even sells it- Jake Raby had suggested this before. You can use this on the case halves, the jug bases, and a few other various areas where you have no gap/or less than a couple thousands anyway. It works outstanding, and is alot less messy than most sealers. I have a complete list around somewhere if you end up that far. When was the last time you poped new rings in? It's pretty cheap, and now would be a good time!! I think I paid around $50 for my set off this site. The porsche factory manual says you should change them every 30,000 miles. Sounds kind of ridiculous to me, but hey, while your in there.....
