Get a flexible magnet and start probing around where you think you lost it. Good Luck!

grab brick and beat self in face!

i was going to say the magnet idea also. if there is still oil around in pools just get a cloth and dab it up... might be hiding around some oil...

Wow black, you will take any chance to bash your stuff on here, I dont think this post has mush do do with your problem at all?

Walker has a really good tip.
Depending on where you dropped it, get a flexable magnet and start probing.

It probably fell right on top of the lifter valley and is sitting there so you shouldnt have much of a problem picking it up.

Good luck, Scott

Damn, you guys are cruel. Is this the pick on your dumbass forum or what. And if you can't find the screw go buy one. It's not worth going nuts for a screw. Greg

Stealwings, I think you missed the point.

Drop a screw in your engine and see if it lasts, or a least dosnt do any damage.

You better wait till you have the turbo up and runnin solid!!

Can you imagine sendin off your fun bottle only to have no power cause a part dosnt work properly on your custom turbo setup?!!

BTW, why dont you run both? I know a few Mitsu and Honda guys who run both and if that rice can take it our american V6's can!!

Just a though, Scott
