There was a recent thread on this topic, complete with pictures. Do a search and you'll find it. It has all sorts of suggestions on how to retrieve the washer. Good luck.

Don't panic yet - it may not have even made it to the combustion chamber if the intake valve was closed. Either way, you won't be 'splitting the case' to retrieve it since it can't go by the piston.
Good luck.
