Subject: Need Help! 87 Saab 9000 turbo Engine Question


I have an 87 Saab 9000 turbo. Yesterday I was putting the head back on the engine block (had to replace the head gasket) when things went bad. I had got the head on set the timming chain and put the intake bolts on when a small screwdriver bit fell out of the socket it was in and into the engine. The hole it fell through was in the front right corner of the head or engine. (Front equals the edge of the engine closest to the front of the car, and right means drivers side) I am quessing the hole is an oil return and empties into the pan but an not sure. It is about 3/4" x 1/4" where the bit fell in and it seems to bend and get smaller as is goes down into the block. Again this hole is as far right on the block as you can get and in the front corner- there are no other holes like it at all. If you know where this hole goes or any ideas how I could get the little bit out that would be great as I am at a standstill. Oh- I did try a little magnet on the end of a coat hanger to see if I could get it out but wasn't succesfull as I can't even see the bit down the hole? -Thanks
