You nincompoop why not have just placed a rag down the tunnel & have a magnet at the ready

[Jamoi]

Damn it! Is the bolt magnetic?

[turbo_billy]

Try fishing around with one of those extendable magnets or drop the sump cover first before you remove the engine. Never know, may get lucky

What side did it fall down ?
You might get it from only removing the side cases

Take the sump off and see if it can be found in there or give you better access.
