dropped socket in motor

[brscott38]

Im helping a buddy do oil cooler and hpop with hpop off he dropped a 5/16 socket into the motor. We have looked and tried a magnet with no success on seeing this thing. If you guys have any suggestion it would be great. At a stand still. thanks

May be the same thing but i have one of those video scopes like you buy at homodepo. It provides color video and has a magnet atachment for the end.

There's a good possibility that it just dropped into the oil pan. If you can't find it with a bore scope pulling a pan isn't to bad of a job just to check. Just an idea.

thanks for the input we finally got it out. Luckly it fell to the oil pan and with a magnet and some patience it come out.
