One of the valve cover nuts. Took a while but eventually found it on the motor mount

Default Small screw driver, a few engine cover clips and small ratchet that some how fell

between the radiator fan and shroud. I probably could drop that thing in the same spot 1000 times and wouldn't get it in that spot again.

I looked for that thing for an hr or two. Ended up finding it looking for something else that fell and was like WTF, my rachet! LOL.

Default Lost a screwdriver tip about a year ago but recovered a few weeks ago replacing the motor mounts.

It was a nice surprise as I had always wondered where it went.
