I'll do the fingernail trick. I'd run my finger inside but not fingernail. The piston was in two pieces, one very large and one not much larger than the tip of my baby finger. Was able to put the two pieces together and see that if any other pieces fell into the engine they'd be very, very small. I plan on draining the old oil and flush with some new clean oil to see if I can't get any small pieces to flush out. I think the expense of flushing with a quart or two of oil is cheaper money and frustration wise then doing all the work, then having to go back in because of a small piece of trash. Probable do the old magnet trick too. Thanks guys. I'll keep you posted.
