So whe I was installing my arp head studs I dropped a washer on the last stud on the back of the head on the exhaust side. Heres the problem, its nowhere to be found. I know is back there somewhere bc I was digging for it with a wire and felt it but now it is nowhere. Ive been digging for it for a hour and am beyond pissed. The motor is an s13 sr if that matters. Anyone had this happen before? What should I do?

Next time, use compressed air to the area you suspect it is in - it will blow it right off.
On the back of the head, there isnt a hole big enough to drop an ARP washer thru it, as far as i remeber.
