how to get it out of the engine block...... i was removing the pistons and well the very last one i had to do (cylinder 3) the clip popped off and in my fumble went down the dark abyss ....any idea how to get it out of the case without splitting the cases.... there is a bunch of sediment around where the connecting rods are ( i assume was caked around the jugs and when i removed them it all went into the top of the block) so i mean could i fill the case with something to kinda clean that out as well or should i suffer the task of splitting the cases?
