One of those, "Now why the Hell did I do that" moments. We've all had 'em, and they suck large ones.

you forgot the Gum on the stick method to.. along with skinny kid down the street method...

but ya that sucks, ive dropped about 2 sets or alen bits in the engine bay.. they just vanish in mid air.. i tried looking for them but you can never find them..

one of my friends left a drop light down in a SUV that drove around for about 5 months and then came back to get an alignment and it was still sitting on top of the upper control arm... not melted or anything and and still worked..

now thats crazy!

well i tryed the magnet but the screws are aluminum....hahahh well it worked out good, because it went all the way to the cylender. so i had to take it all the way down, and i discovered that me intake maifold gasket was blown, along with one of my head gaskets. so one little freakin screw turned into a whole upper engin rebuild. and as far as the gum on a stick with my luck i would have goten gum stuvk in the manifold
