Called it a night. I'll keep digging tomorrow. It fell down the frontmost exhaust side oil drain, not sure where that ends up. Might pull the head off my spare motor and take a peak down it.

Yup that looks like the one. I'm worried its stuck in the mbsp somehow. I tried compressed air, and flushed some acetone down there. Tomorrow I'm going to get a gallon of mineral spirits and see if i cant get it to move.

Perhaps a small pump, some flexible tubing, and just pump oil/acetone/something down that hold and try to flush it out that way.
Or if you happen to have a small flexible camerea (they are like 20 shipped on amazon) you could drain the oil and go in through the drain hole. Once you find it, remove camera and put some fishing gear on the camera (hook, cup, thick grease, magenet, etc) and go in and get the keeper.

Going to try both those things. I'm not sure how well the camera will work. The drain hole is pretty small, and I have an aftermarket baffle in the oil pan.
