did u loose it while puttign on the oil pump, there are plenty of water passages that it could have fallen into.

what i did is i put the oil pump on then i put the key and then the sprocket on and it felt like it was in and i tight the nut and the sprcket didnt slip or nothing. i have to double check the old oil i pull off the engine to check is there

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 did that i think it was just barelly on and when i crank it with the engine it felt off but i spin the engine with oil pump by hand and didntb look like it was slipping but ohh well, im gonna see if somebody have one i need one this is my only car right now and i need it as soon as posible running because the company work with is calling me for work and my mom doesnt like to take me to work @ 4:30 in the morning anymore

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.
