serious engine issue

[Neosophist]

yeah ive checked the strainer, ive stuck the telescopic magnet down between the cams till it comes out where the sump is, ran my hand up inside as far as i could trying to feel it but no luck, the bike proberly aint goingf to be on the road till next year, so all i can do is run the engine once a week and hope the flow of oil moves it to the sump, i dont like the thought of splitting the cases just to get a shim out, fingers crossed

If you have access to an air-compressor get yourself a paraffin gun if you dont' already have one (dirt cheap) and blast the crap out of the engine to flush it out.

Old pair of tights over the sump hole to catch anything and blast the parrafin in through the top should see it flushed out.
