let me get this straight: you dropped a bolt inside your engine via the oil filler opening, its still in there, and you have been driving around?

you seem to have missed a few steps
1. remove the valve cover
2. knock yourself unconscious with it because you are a moron
3. regain consciousness and remove the bolt
