[QUOTE="Avispa, post: 13639438, member: 78552"] Ugh....no, the valves stay in the position they were at the time the engine stopped, closing only by a small amount related to leakdown of the lash adjusters. If you dropped something in an intake port, the ONLY safe thing to do is assume it went past the valve into the cylinder unless you can retrieve it with a magnet from the port or from the spark plug hole. It's a giant PITA having to pull a head to get a piece of metal out of a cylinder, but it's only a small fraction of the PITA you'll have if you try to run that motor with a metal whatever it is in a cylinder.
