Forget the coat hanger.
Go and buy a telescoping "claw". It's a length of spring wire with a central core that moves forward and back with a plunger at the top and a "claw" at the bottom. You find the washer with a strong light and snag it with the claw. Don't loosen the chain..........the washer is sitting right on top of the chain about 1/2 way down.
There is no timing chain cover on this engine. Everything is done via the opening at the top of the block and head.
