Are the spark plugs out? I've been down this road before with a lost small nut and my flathead.. Engine started running poorly a few weeks later. Had very little compression in one cylinder. Pulled the head and there it was imbedded in the piston along side a small hole. I assume it fell in the spark plug hole because they were out at the time. Hope that's not your case.
