Yes indeed!!! I lost a bolt while changing my valve stem seals, I searched for an hour and could not find it after searching nearly everywhere. I tried the ol replicate the drop and I ended up losing the other one as well. It took me 3 hours as I was then forced to remove the fan, radiator and almost the being support bracket. I ended up using a 27mm socket to crank the engine and the crank seemed to jam, ended up finding one bolt wedged between the crank and the other was caught up right in the front by the oil cooler hose.
