I have experience with things in the chamber. The tip of 2 pre-chambers broke off and were banging around in there for a while ( in my mind "a while " in a running engine could be 5 seconds, it happened for the previous owner, so I don't know ) . The engine still ran. I drove it 70 miles home. It did not run well because of the broken off pre-chambers, but the pistons and valves were fine. The top of the pistons looked like someone took a hammer to it, with little divots marks in the top, but no material seemed to be missing. Based on that experience, I would run it with a piece of plastic in it.
Again, I would, doesn't mean you should.
