lol yea I was thinking the same thing when I was doing my cam swap, then I dropped the oil pump pick up tube bolt..... took me a little over an hour to get it out of the pan with a magnet. LOL that sucked, other than that things went well, the #7 cyl and #8 cyl valve springs are fun to change too, cut my arm all up under the cowling....

^ Shredded forearms are caused by the little black plastic snap tabs that hold the cowl-to-hood weather seal down.

Next time, pop them out before you start taking the coil brackets off.

Shop rags in the pan keeps bolt from dropping. Shop rags on the heads catch dropped keepers.

I used fishing line, back the bolt out a lil bit then tied the line around it, and wala, no more dropped bolt, hella useful when putting it back on
