Please Help..dropped Screw Changing Spark Plugs For Gtr

[sukigts]

hi guys,

Any advice is much appreciated...

I'm trying to figure out if i have dropped a screw in a bad place in the engine bay.

I didn't realise that the coil packs could be removed all together on the rb26dett, and so i removed them individually.

..so when i undid the first coil pack at the very front of the engine, I accidentally dropped a screw down the front, I can not see where it is, but I know where it fell into.

I dropped it just behind where the timing belt area is, I know its close to an areas with lots of moving parts, I'm trying to find out how hard it would be to retrieve it, is it in a place it needs to be retrieved from?

A friend said just forget a bout it, if it falls and hits any belts it will just fling away.

In the diagram, i dropped the screw that came out in the blue circle, and it has fallen down where the red circle is.

Any advice is much appreciated

Thanks

Take off the top timing belt cover and have a look for it and if its fallen into the bottom part stick a flexi magnet down there and see if you get it. I wouldnt want a screw jumping around the belt. You could also turn the engine by hand and have a listen if the screw is there.
