Help..Need a valve lock DFW!! I am in the middle of a MS4 swap and lost a valve lock (the last one I had to put on 
), I have tried all the normal autoparts stores...Napa, Autozone, O'reilles and no one has them in stock! Any one have a stock lock laying around that I can buy??? Or does any one know of a place I can get one??

I know, I saw it fall a little, heard it hit a few things and poof gone! Didn't hit the ground! The intake wasn't open but the headers were off so it could have gone in the exhaust port. I have stuck a pen magnet down in the exhaust port and the spark plug hole and nothing. I have spun the motor over manually kind of fast and didn't hear anything...just praying at this point!

I know it has to be there somewhere.....but I'll be dammed if I can find it. Seriously i did the swap on saturday and have been looking everyday for a few hours ever since, that lil bastard is king of hide and go seek!! It is one of those peices that could have bounced to the back of the garage without a sound.....but knowing my luck it is in the cylinder and will be soon royally screwing my motor up!
