Dumb Question Thread - No Flaming Allowed

Ok my dumb question.

Was swapping back my eventuri intake, and one of my wireless earbuds, fell out of my ear while leaning over the engine bay and fell into engine bay, tried to use a telescoping magnet to get in back, but was too weak of magnetic force and it fell in deeper in.

I don't care about the ear bud, just wondering if I should be concerned about that ear bud in the engine bay with the tiny lithium battery, not sure if it will fall into something mechanical. I can't tell where it went anymore, but here it's the area it fell into.

There's really nothing down there to worry about, maybe with a borescope or small mirror/one of the those bendy grabber tools you could get it?

If/when parts of it melt and you smell that.

The throttle actuator is under the plenum, but the chances an earbud would gum up the works there are so remote I don't even know why I typed this!

Fortunately I did have a borescope and manged to find the earbud. I ended up ordering a bendy grabber tool and should be here tomorrow.

Thanks for the response.
