Tool in LIM
I accidently dropped an allen key into the LIM and it ended going all the way down.
I have tried retrieving it with a flexible magnetic tool however no luck at the moment. I hope it has not ended up in the engine.
Any suggestions on how to get the part out?

Thats.......................a bad day!
What port?
Remove the SSV and VDI to get some light in it then just get a magnet and a mirror in their and start looking. Maybe (and be cautious) but spin the motor slightly back and forth, if you can be sure the key is not in the motor then spin the motor so the intake port is closed on that rotor.

Forgive me for this comment, as I am not trying to critisize you or anything, but this should be proof to any and everyone who is working on their car and opening intake components. Regardless of engine type, make, or model, you should always, always, stuff a rag, or use tape to protect the ports from debris.

Fortunately the magnetic tool eventually worked with a larger magnet attached and secured with a strong fishing line to give it more magnet power.
The whole exersice proved fruitful as I discovered the vacuum line had popped off the omp line during the track day. Would not have known without uim removal. So now reattached with a hose clamp

Does anyone know if the OMP would squirt oil out of the vacuum line if it is not attached?
I am tyring to figure out if the oil was coming from the vacuum line or from the OMP.
