Foreign Object In Combustion Chamber

Was changing out spark plugs, noticed debree..removed it with a magnet. Ot seems that a tiny small washer was hiding from me. Im guessing it fell in. I started the car..and ban alot of noise in the freaking combustion chamber. I know its a small washer because The debree that ir emoved was a small screw. I dont know why the hell it was in there. I sure never put it there or worked with that. Now I gotta take appart the rear head and itnake manifold (pain). Might as well slap mnew head gaskets. Oh and a valve job is in the works because I assume a foreign metal piece can mess up the valves. While the intak is out..porting time. Stil.. this is not gopopd att all. If i cant fix it..screw it..another engine. I have no time right now to slap in the z turbo engine. I have no clue on what to do plus, thats for my wagon. Also theres no toime to bring the wagon to my houyse and pull that engine and put it in the sedan. This engine has good comression. No sense in thrashing it just cuz bent valve..now damaged piston..? hmm
