    any pics?

    if there was a screw in there, there would probably be damage to the head too, but the screw could well we in bits in your exhaust.

    Is the damage just to the piston, or to the cylinder wall as well?

    Pics would be useful!

    check the piston rings are intact, a small piece broke off in my engine creating pitting on one piston. Does it look anything like this?
