I just put on a set of sportsman II heads, and was putting the throttle cable on, I use a small bolt and nut to secure it to the throttle body. as I was putting it on, I dropped it down into the oil drain passage on the head. It's stuck in there, as the oil drain holes don't match up perfectly with the holes on the block, so there's a big lip there. Anyone got any good ideas on how to get it out without taking everything apart? I was thinking a telescoping magnet might work, I just don't have one. I don't know if that would work with the heads being iron. I also thought about trying to put some super glue on a small diameter rod or stick and try to glue it to the bolt. I'd really prefer not to drop this bolt into the lifter valley. Thanks for any help.

as long as the bolt is made of ferrous metal, a magnet should work just fine

 

suck it out with a shop vac.
