While Finn's suggestion will undoubtedly work. For
those of you with women around, sneak into the bathroom and get a tampax.
cover it with Vaseline or light grease then stuff it down in the hold with the
"string" on top where you can reach it with needle nose pliers or such.
Once finished - fish the string out and gentle pull the chip coated tampax
out.

Doesn't have to be a problem. Put a piece of rag (that won't
tear or fall apart) with greas on in into the hole (in such a way that you'll
be able to fish it out again.
I don't think very small fragments of
iron will do any harm in the cooling system ?

That's fine when the engine's apart, Finn. I don't think I want the
metal to go into the block.
Looks like another trip to the machine shop - or can you buy these
barbs from Mazda?
