Had a friend change out the thermostat housing gasket on my brand new boat engine that was leaking and he dropped both of the washers when pulling it off. One landed in the bilge which i retreived, the other where I described so in the title. He said it was fine and wont hurt anything after I tried getting it out for probably 10 minutes. I might take compressed air and shove that in it. It just drives me crazy. He just went and found another same sized washer and put her back together. Am i being paranoid? My only concern is that it comes loose and gets jammed into a pulley or something when running.
