i was taking my valve cover off to repolish it, and when i was putting ti back on as well as some other stuff i was relocating i dropped a bolt down the coolant hole in the back right of the block, what do i have to do??

Turn car over and shake.
Or try using one of those telescopic rods with a small magnet on the end for exactly that purpose (at any auto store or Sears).

turn the car over and shake??? if thats a joke i dotn get it

anyways its such a small hole, i think slowboy did it when they were porting it, made the coolant hols bigger so i have no clue how teh ehll im going to get it out

its not a straight hole either its like teh shape of an eye only scaled down to maybe 4mm at the widest

ok someone told me its the oil drain tube it fell down from the head

that sucks

get a magnet, the one with the orange handle and 18 inch movable rod. It got mine out. It also got the washer that fell down there, and the other shit. If worse comes to worse, you can drain your oil and hope it ended up in the pan, and stick the magnet around down there.

Good luck
