have you checked the full length of the intake all the way back to the air filter even? sometimes on front end collisions small pieces of little parts such as sensors,brackets etc.. can break free and some of these peices rae not magnetic in nature. i would just pull the engine apart. if all it is is fod then you got a running engine witha chance to go through it and do maintenance, hey and its only 50 bucks. but if its worse then you have a motor you can part out and maybe make a little extra,but if you dont check it out thoroughly and run it you could possibly kill any chances for either scenario.

I would be careful spinning that thing over with a damaged plug like that who knows whats in that cylinder. You should see if you can round up a boroscope,Matco Tools, Mac, even Home Depot sells one. They are great for doing inspections. They come with a little right angle mirror that will let you see the valves. Thing comes real handy when you find that cerain lowprice find.
