Hello -

I dropped the chain inside the engine!!! oops.Are there any tried & proven ways of retrieving it other than magnet & patience?Can I get to it if I remove the oil pan & lower cover?Can I remove the lower cover with the engine in the car?

I figure since I already messed up I will just replace all the guide rails.Can I do this with the engine in the car?Please help!!!

The piece over the intake sprocket is still in place so I haven't lost the timing.
