PLEASE HELP.
I dropped a drill bit in a hole behind the intake to the left of the distributor if your looking at it from behind facing the flywheel. I need to know how to get this drill bit out.

Re: PLEASE HELP.
See the diagram below.
Your drill bit is sitting about 8~ inches in a vertical position. Get a magnet tool and pull it up out!
