Thanks, guys. It's the 14mm bolt that is the lower of the two bolts that go on top of the valve spring cap for adjstment. I do have a spare.
I guess my concern then, is that somehow (seeing how much much an engine vibrates), the bolt will bounce back into the valve area while the engine is running, and then make it's way over to the timing chain.
I had planned on putting in a new oil pan, so I guess i can see if it shows up there.
Could it do any damage to the oil pump? Is it a resonably straight shot to the pan? Does the return hole constrict at any point where a 14mm bolt could get stuck (meaning that in my world it will dislodge a couple of weeks down the road, bounce back into the valve area, and over to the timing chain).
Thanks,
Pete.
