ok when you take off the valve cover and your looking at the top right valve spring there a hole that leads down to sumwhere. does this lead down to the oil pain? or down to the valve?

Miracle

I believe its just an oil drain hole....

Allowing the oil to drain back down through the block into the oil pan.

thanks my friend droped a bolt down in it would it b ok for now or do we have to take his oil pan off to get it out? he also has a magnet in the oil pan this should catch it right?

Miracle

Good job. How big was the bolt???

Small enough to go through the entire length of the whole.

If so, it should not have gotten lodged, and it SHOULD be in the oil pan.

yea it droped all the way down his dad was like you done fu*ked up now its on the valve or on top of the piston. so theres notin to worry about.

Miracle

There is no hole in the head itself where oil could lead to the cylinders or on the back side of the valves.

If there was, then every time the valve opened, oil would get into the cylinders. Your friends dad is the one that needs to be slapped.

Just drain the oil, drop the oil pan, and you should see it.
