Bravo! Brick wall overcome. Now button her down real nice, add some fluids and take her for a long satisfying drive. It is amazing what can be accomplished with patience and determination.

Let the celebrations begin!

Not quite yet; while it is an accomplishment to fish the screw out, he still has an engine that is not at TDC, the cams are not locked, the tensioner's are out, and the IMS flange cover is off. There is still a lot of tricky work yet to be done..........

Woo Hoo! Looks like you used several ideas from several sources to get it done congratulations! We all together are smarter than any one of us alone! Way to go! And next time someone drops a screw there, they have you and your tenacity to thank for the process to get it out!
