    You are indeed a lucky man! Is it an oil pan bolt, intake bolt or what? I'm just glad you found it this way, instead of on top of a piston! Hear from Tony yet?

    found where this bolt came from. it was the one and only bolt holding the oil pickup tube to the oil pump. this is a pic of when I popped the timing cover looking to see where the bolt may have come from. I thought being I was installing my new E-waterpump it would be a good time to look behind the cover.
