I'm replacing heads and just dropped a bolt down one of the holes in the lifter valley. Am I going to have to pull the whole friggin oil pan off to get it? It fell in one of the holes in the pic.
Btw it wasn't a head bolt, it was a tiny grounding bolt that screws into the back of the head.

 

Might be able to fish it out with a magnet..

 

Yeah I'm gonna head to the parts depot and get one, see if I can nab it

 

A magnet will get it if you're lucky. Next time though, save all that little stuff for when the intake is back on.

 

Prolly won't be able to get it w/ a magnet, but you could try, you might get lucky.

It'll just end up laying in the bottom and shouldn't cause any trouble. You'll just have to get one to replace it.

 

Thanks for the replies, I was able to snag it with a telescoping magnet and pull it out. Intake is back on now lol.

 

Sometimes things just work out, eh?
