OK my eyes started to blurry reading here so I didn't read all the posts, SO has anyone said that this could be part of a tool. the wire object with the base attached to it could be a tiny jewelers screwdriver blade or maybe a pick of sort, and the bolt looking object could be the retainer tip that screws onto a handle. Those marks dont seam to be angled like a thread would be, but it could be knurled rings on the tip for gripping. With that intake off, those runners are wide open when the EGR work was performed. It could of fallen out of Techs shirt pocket or something while leaning over engine. I dont know what it would be used for on THIS job but its just a thought. I've built thousands of gasser over the 25 yrs in a machine shop I worked at so every so often I was confronted with foreign object ID. If those are indeed threads it looks more like a set screw because of the absense of a head on the object. GOOD LUCK BUDDY ! my brother in laws doing EGR / OIL cooler right now and I have him look at your pics tomarrow and have him keep an I out for anything that might look like that. I would be over there but he's 500 miles away.
