Please help

2004 F-250 6.0 Powerstroke
My truck ended up hydro locking from over fueling injector number 4 was hanging open
but I had a code for injector 2 so I pulled number 2 as well, and the hold down bolt was loose and the injector had pounded the copper washer to pieces, I got most of the pieces out so far.... but one little flake the size of the tip of an injector and thinner than paper fell into the cylinder, should I say f*** it and run it? Please let me know what you think. I don’t have the equipment to pull the cab off my truck and I really don’t want or have the time to pull heads off with the cab on. What should I do? let me know what you think.

thanks

Maybe with a USB camera and a vacuum, pull out the glow plug and use that, and also the injector port. One is for the vacuum and another is for the camera, and manage to extract that piece out?

might work but don’t have a camera that works. I thought about the vacuum thing but not sure that it will work

The good news is that USB cameras with various diameters are very affordable.

According to this: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...borescope.html

Sean says it's 1/4" size. So 5.5mm would work. Also, looks like the scope would go in the injector hole and the glow plugs is for the vacuum.

If the vacuum dust collection chamber is clean, you might be able to fish blind and periodically check the chamber for the copper flake. There shouldn't be much else in the cylinder to clutter the dust collector.

So I just said f*** it and ran it, runs nice no weird noises. I think the old leaker likes the copper flakes. Might just add more for next time lol
I mean I guess I’ll see in the long run but seems to be good as of now
