Reply to "Help. I dropped a jet."

Well that all depends, there is a small space on the cylinder head tins were it could make it by and resting on top of the cylinder or along side of a spark plug head fins. I don't see how something that big i.e. the jet, if it could make it's way into the cylinder you may have enough clearance ( dished head) when you rotating it by hand having clearance at TDC... BUT with the engine running and the valves going in and out of the head it could turn ugly. How about a bore scope ? See attached photo, this was caused by a tiny piece of carb casting.
