[QUOTE="superfuzz, post: 967287, member: 20854"] So this morning, I talked to Allrider (Gordon) and he volunteered to come down and bring his various magnetic tools and (most importantly) an optimistic outlook. Prior to his arrival, the dudes and I went to harbor frieght in Tacoma and bought an inspection camera for $99 and this fella, a magnetic pickup/with LED light for $5.99 [IMG]https://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l233/superfuzz87/IMAG0294.jpg[/IMG] Just before Gordon arrived, I got the clutch cover and splash guard pulled off. I used the inspection camera and was encouraged to see that it looked like it opened down in to the sump. I figured worst case, I'd have to pull the oil pan and that didn't sound too bad. Gordon arrived and he started fishing around with my new pickup. About 90 seconds later, VOILA!!! It was all the way down under the Rotella. [IMG]https://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l233/superfuzz87/IMAG0293.jpg[/IMG] Reunited and it feels so good!!! Huge thanks to Gordon! Lesson learned? Look around, A LOT, and find every possible disaster before I started working around an open engine. [/QUOTE]
