You have 1000 posts and don't know what a lift bolt is?

try tweezers? try a vacuum? a stronger magnet?

yeah vacuum might work best..if you got those tools with an extention that's magnetized use that too

is that my engine in that pix, if not we have twin engines

Yeah, if you've got a digital camera, post a good close-up pic if you can.

There is a search button at the top of the page.

This topic has been discussed COUNTLESS TIMES. Pics have been posted. Hot to's have been posted.

Search for it, before you make a new thread about it.

if you use a small drill and then a tap for the same size as the dill bit you can get it out that way. just make sure you have rags around where you are drilling and a magnet there too.. just to catch any loose shavings. It seemed to work last time i did it, because my dad helped me and i didn't want to take all the cams off and do it that way. Much easier to do it in like 45 minutes than the 6 hours it might take to do it the "how to" way as posted a long time ago.
