Pintle Cap lost

Hi all. Removing injectors for cleaning and one of the Pintle Caps has fallen off and dropped. Unfortunately the valve was open and it looks like it’s dropped through to the piston. I have had a quick go with the hoover to try and suck it out but no luck yet. If the worse comes to the worse will it do any damage if I can’t get it out. Thanks.

Just an update on this just in case anyone has the same issue. A combination of air gun through the spark plug hole and hoover on the inlet hole and it’s popped straight out.
