Get a magnet and run it all over the engine and on the ground - you might get lucky.

put your head down low to the ground as to have one ear down and look that way, you can see if somethign is sticking up much better it helps a lot if you already not doing that

I know exactly how it feels, i was measuring the apex seal groove clearance with my new RA apex seals and i lost the small end of the seal. I spent fours hours looking for that dam thing. I ended up buying one apex seal.

Yep, that sucks.

Superglue and Loctite red are your friend.
