Yea that sucks. I don't advise leaving it in there. Cant take the pan out without dropping the kmember that I know of. I wonder if you started it and ranit just for a kinut and see if the drain plug will stick to it since its magnetic. Good luck man

Wow, shitty situation. It's possible to take the oil pan off without completely dropping the k member. See here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...-write-up.html
