Long story short, I was scraping intake gasket off of the lower intake manifold on a 2.9 and a piece of the gasket fell down into the intake runner. How the heck do I get it out? I tried blowing air back up through it with the intake valve open but it won't blast it out of there. Ideas?

If you have a leaf blower...some can be changed to suck (as opposed to blow) Sidebar: I always wanted to say that!

I would prefer to do it without pulling the lower, that way I have one less set of gaskets to replace. I haven't tried the vacuum yet, that was my plan for tomorrow. Thanks for the tips.
