Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Bought used C4S: replaced AOS and was going to replace oil filler tube that was broken and had jury rigged fix. I violated basic rule. After remove remnants of old filler tube, I did not place rag in block. The short of it, a small bolt and small plastic piece fell into hole. NOW WHAT? I cannot see anything in the hole, and missing parts are not anywhere else on block. Will these fall to the sump, and then pull sump and retrieve?

POST 2Original post

Get ready to do an oil change. Drop the sump, retrieve drooped pieces and reseal. New oil and filter and your done.

Thanks so much...I am relieved to hear this. Next question...my friend about 3 miles away, has lift in his garage. Safe to drive to be able to do the pan easier?

POST 4Original post

You didn’t hear it from me...�� but... the oil pick up has a screen and nuts bolts etc. would be too large to pass through. That being said, any debris in the oil sump could get picked up by the oil swirling around and caught up in the timing chain etc. risky. Any others care to chime in?

POST 5Original post

Don't start it until you find it. You will not be lucky.

POST 6Original post

You might try a magnet on a long stalk for the bolt. The plastic is more problematical. Is it a straight shot down to the sump? If so, removing the sump is fool-proof.
