Washer in the dizzy hole

[Jack's95gt]

I'm changing to a Victor intake for my 93lx. While installing the thermostat housing the bolt and washer sprung up. The bolt was in the dizzy hole on the support for the dizzy shaft. I was able to grab with one of those grabber thingie. I can't find the washer. I think it may have when down the the pan. I'm using stainless steel hardware so they aren't magnetic.

Do you think it would be alright down there???

Stainless steels have varying degrees of magnetism. You may still be able to snag the washer with a magnet.

Yea leave it in there it will be fine. You'll prob wanna take it out though when something locks up.

I wouldnt chance it down there,but then if you feel lucky go for it!Or if you plan to pull the motor and rebuild it?Either way i would pull the pan and see if you can find it,and as Saleen0679 said just cause it's stainless steel dosent mean it's not magnetic and being how it's a automotive bolt i bet it's still magenetic.peace

I got it out. I pull the timing cover, drained the oil and I still didn't see it. The oil pump and the pickup tube blocks the view of the bottom of the pan. I bend up a hanger and went under the oil pump and pickup tube and pulled it to the front and snagged it.
