Problem with cam cover install
We decided on a do-it-ourselves install of some powder coated cam covers on the ‘05 GT. The right side install went OK. On the left side, we were cutting/cleaning the little rubber piece between the accessory cover and the block, when the razor blade slipped and fell down the front accessory drive. It sounded like it fell all of the way down. We bumped the engine over several times with no noise or problems. We have started the engine now and everything seems to be OK. We believe that it has fallen into the oil pan. So, how safe are we to leave just leave it alone in the oil pan?
