Well while putting my head back on again I managed to drop a washer from ARP kit down a hole. The hole is the biggest one in the head and is between the 2nd and 3rd cylindars as seen here:

I tested the head on a bench when I pulled it back off and in fact a washer will fall straight through this hole. I have shined a flashlight down the hole and I see nothing. I am 95% certain it went down this hole.

What do I need to do? I don't have a magnet retriever here and I'm not sure that will work. If it is stuck there how am I to get it out?

I'd recommend picking up a magnet retriever and if you have access to an air supply i'd try using a blow gun to push the washer out of the whole. If it fell out on its own then you're pretty home free.

That is not my motor ... it is from wraith's website. I needed it for illustration.

Well I purchased a magnet retriever and tried fishing it out from the top. No luck. Then I jacked up and took off the oil pan. Figured it is coming off anyway, hopefully the washer will be there. After looking for a minute or so I found it and used my magnet tool to get it. Now I know where that hole goes!
