installing cams on the car and my friend had the tool... like usual changed his number and didnt call me back for 2 days so i made one and it broke lol. i welded a smaller bolt to the end of the threads and that peice fell off in there...it gets better. i thought it was a shaft from using a flashlight and figured i could jus magnet it out installed everything and saw it wasnt a solid shaft and it went down in the timing belt area....... spent alot of time trying to find it without tearing everything apart... ended up doing so anyway pulling the timing belt covers off and guess what.... i spent 45 mins looking for it with my fingers flashlights blowing it out with air nozzle magnets and nothing! lol i cant find it i did start the car after the cam install so i dunno what the ****. i check on top of all the **** like steering pump ac compressor everywhere inside timing belt area the belts everywhere the floor its gone!!!!! lol im putting back together f this BS

buying the tool from ams woulda been alot better....

just take off the timing belt cover off it dont take long you will be ok on the end. good luck

he did take it off and still couldnt find it!

good luck man do you think it fell in your oil pan? i dont remember if there is an opening to the oil pan from that area ( which i doubt due the the timing belt being well a belt instead of a chain lol)

ya it cant get to the pan and still havent found it once my dad cruises by for a second look im putting her back together :/ hope for the best and maybe pop it back off in a few weeks lol i dont know but i'm really tired of lookin sux butt!

i had an allen tool fall into the timing belt area.. and we ended up haveing to take off the serpentine belt and the pulleys down there.. and finally my friend found it at the bottom of the timing belt..

So you started the car with this possibly still in the timing belt area? I would take off all pullies, belts, covers, etc... and find that before I drove the car.. Good luck..

You'll find it eventually...

the part that broke, it threads into one of the brackets and pushes against the timing belt tensioner. if it breaks, you'll have to pull the bracket that the power steering pump is on to be able to see where it is stuck in.

ya i figured out where it had to be and still couldnt find it after 45 mins... my dad came over for a scecond look and he did the same thing i did blowing with air compressor and **** lol but when he did it it came out soooo happy now lol now its time to find out how much power i gained thursday
