Default EGR + AIR Help

Has anyone that has done the EGR! or AIR! mod ever dropped one of the blockoff-plate bolts down into the engine bay? I was putting a blockoff plate onto the AIR flange that comes off of the Header on the left side, that's where I dropped one. I can't find the freakin' thing. What harm could be done? How do I get it out?

I dropped a manifold bolt. Never too be found again.It fell around the motor mount area but I coudn't find it to save my soul.

As long as it didn't drop near anything that is moving it should cause any harm.If it fell INTO the engine that will cause harm.

You can worry about how you get it out after you find it

Obviously you'll want to find this if you can. Just don't lay awake at night worrying what damage it will cause if it only fell into the engine bay.

Try to get the vehicle in better light and look again.

Default I dropped it...

I dropped it between the middle two header tubes. It went backwards when it fell, would it have fell away from the moving parts?

I can't think of anything that spins in that area.

Lightbulb

Look in/on the various crevices and ledges of the K-member as well, sometimes that catches things and eats them up.
