Default How to get this out , d2a td5

Hi a bolt has fallen in where the timing chain runs and is at the bottom , can I get to it by dropping the oil Catch or will I have to take the timing chain cover off as well

The small bolt/screw is at the bottom left ,beside the cog

Looking down it's on the right hand side next to the bottom cog/sprocket . Any advice and laughter accepted .

retrieval tool would be worth a shot, either the type pictured below or a magnetic telescopic one, should be available locally

Couple of ideas...

1. If you have a magnetizer then find a small diameter, bendable steel rod, magnetize the end and go fishing.

2. Find small diameter tubing that can reach the hardware and attach it to your shop vac with duct tape and the suction should be able to grab the bolt.
