[imported_Diavolo]

Anyone ever drop something in there engine bay and not find it? I dropped my IAC and I can't find it anywhere in the bay. I tried to flush it out with water but with no luck. This is pretty annoying.

anyone else do this?

good one.

I dropped my 3/8 rachet, with a socket into my front clip. I know its still there.

I dropped a blade from a utility knife in my engine bay once.

I dropped one of the little valve spring retainer halves in there and somehow found it with a magnet after two and a half hours

while installing my gmpp struts, i lost one top bolt on the strut........

anyway, i drove 50 some miles back from LP 3800s mod days and as I was turning a corner, I heard a clang in the engine...


Stopped the car and saw the bolt about 10 feet in front of the car! :lolsign:

thats funny as hell me and my buddy were wrapping our crossover pipe with dei
and we dropped a wrench and socket in the front bumper, which just added to the other wrench thats in there and like half a socket set

that little open area near the hood latch is dangerous , i suggest gm come up with little cover for there, to big of a gapfor the little latch, or if anyone works on there car stuff a thick rag right there, ull save some time and tools!

lol, nice topic...

I found the sc breather nut for my brother's Riv balencing on the engine cradle, a year and a half after he lost. Where do you even get one of those if you wanted to replace it? The dealer would probably try to sell you a whole new sc

Had a member over to install rockers, and we found a wrench and knife in the part in front of the radiator.

I lost a screw to my MPS at IDD5 and found it about five months later when I was under the car.

I found a hammer and ratchet, the ratchet I understood.....but the hammer, thats just weird.

I also found a magnet (Zac's) about a year later in my front bumper when I dropped a ratchet down there.

I dropped something down into the cam valley on an old motor, and had to take the oil pan off to get it...nice waste of 4 hours. Or the time when I put rockers/springs on my GTP and dropped a valve in the cylinder, 3 hours to get that out. Before I took out all that crap in front of my radiator I lost plenty of stuff in there...lots of 10mm sockets!
