while iWhile I was taking apart a 2003 3.8L Ford Mustang that I recently bought, one of the many small acorn shells I found on the engine fell into one ofa cylinder through the cylindersintake port (red arrow in the photo). If I were to start the engine without taking out that small acorn shell, will there be problems? Is it necessary for me to also take off the cylinder head and take out the acorn to avoid any possible damage?

Can you run an engine with an acorn shell in one of the cylinders?
