Worse place to drop a bolt?
Worse place to drop a bolt? I think minus the motor I found it. Was installing a new nitrous bracket and dropped the TB bolt, well it decided to fall. I looked for a magnetic pick up tool, none to be found, so I tried nabbin it with the fingers, negatory, **** fell further and now calls some where between the water pump and opti its new home. I think if I took the water pump off I could get at it, but at this point, may just go ahead and buy a new bolt. I'll get that one back when I do a cam swap.

buddy of mine was rebuilding a transmission and for some reason tinkering under the hood. two checkballs fell into the intake into the cylinder and he didnt realize until he started it up... just imagine that noise, two steel ***** having a good old time in that cylinder 
I was putting on a STB nut and it fell lucky I checked at around on the k-member and everything and can't find it so I don't think I should have any problems. I would get that bolt out of there man.
