I also dropped the pan and ordered a new cast alum finned 'T' pan. When I pulled the intake to do some finish machining, I dropped a washer right down an intake port and into a cylinder...

nice work, the engine looks really nice. That stinks about the washer. At least you knew and ripped it apart instead of forgetting and waiting.
