Those holes don't look that big but they can swallow surprisingly large
items. I found this out while doing my valve adjustment at 120k miles. One
of the adjustment tools popped loose, clinked a couple of times, then was
nowhere to be found. By process of elimination I decided it must have
fallen into the pan. I pulled the pan off and found it laying in the bottom
of the pan. It would probably have been harmless down there but I didn't
know that and I was also mad at myself for losing it.
