Howdy All. I got an ext. Stuck on my piston arm . I dropped it through the distributor hole and thought it went to the pan... Well it didn't lol. Turned it over and bam. Right in there, an I can't turn the motor either way.

You do have all the plugs out so there's no compression right? Seems like you could back the crank the opposite way you turned it just a bit to at least make sure its not jammed. Then the needle nose pliers.

This. Use a breaker bar on the crank bolt to turn the engine backwards.

I going to say that you should add some restore and some marvel mystery oil to the radiator. Then charge the battery up really well and try turning it over again

I think I might try to cut it in half . I can reach in there and grab it, but I can't crank the motor enough to turn it over
