I am in the middle of replacing the upper guide rails. I accidentally dropped one pivot pin inside(right side) the engine. It happened while I was removing the pivot pin. I heard it settle somewhere at the bottom. I need to know whether it could have landed at the bottom oil pan, or do I have to remove the timing cover to retrieve it? Dont ask me how, but it got too slippery holding the upper guide rail with one hand and trying to pull the pin out with the other hand. I disengaged the bolt I used to pull the pin because I was trying to start with the other pin. big mistake...

appreciate your help
