d*mn, droped a socket down the cam chain tunnel

I can't be the 1st person to do this. Any suggestions on getting it out? It was inbetween the back and front of the chain but with my efforts to retreive it, it has disappeared. I have tried a couple of magnets on a stick but no luck. What now? Is there any access to the bottom of the abyss? Thanks for any suggestions.

My brother in law dropped one of the guides in his. I pulled the do-hickey side
off and with a magnet was able to find it. While you have it apart you can
change out the do. Use the torsion spring it is much better and you will never
need to open it up again, unless.........
Let us know how it goes.

And that, my friends, is why you always tie up the cam chain and stuff a
rag around it.
You could always try depth charges.

Bill,
If it's not too late to make a suggestion...
Pull the left side cover off and look for the socket from there. If you
can't find it remove the rotor and large starter gear and look again. If
you still don't see it remove the left inner cover and also the doo gear
and shaft. That will give you a bit more opening to look in and fish
around with a magnet.
Best,
Jeff Saline

Perhaps it is attatched to your aftermarket, low-profile magnetic drainplug.

I dropped a woodruff key down there on my2001. Still there and running fine. Just leave the socket there. It is probably too big to get stuck in anything.

CY,
That is really bad advice.
Anything that can get in the engine has an opportunity to get into the
transmission area too. Either the engine or the transmission has plenty
of opportunities for catastrophic damage if something gets jammed between
gears, chain and sprockets etc. If you've ever seen a picture of the
inside of an engine that grenaded from broken doohickey parts you'll know
exactly what I'm talking about.
