Re: 1937 Flathead lost bolt... Help!
Actually there is a hole in the rear of the block that allows the oil that fills the oil pump idler gear cavity to drain down into the pan. Its a stretch that the missing bolt might be in that location but who knows. Also the detail about stainless not being magnetic is not completely true some lower grade stainless hardware is magnetic.
