Well, I was cleaning the oil pan gasket from the engine getting ready to install new gasket and didn't notice flywheel cover missing. But I did notice after the 1 inch piece of cork gasket fell in through the opening. Grrrrr. I have tried to remove it but no luck. Should I worry? or what is good way to get at it.....
Appreciate your thoughts......

Not to worry! But try using something to stick in there with some grease on it may be able to adhere. Double face tape???

How about taping a piece of rubber tubing to the vacuum hose and fishing sound?

How letting the flywheel turn it into cork dust.

I tried double sided tape but it got greased up. I'll try grease on a
Stick that might work. Good idea.....

The vacuum trick sounds good! Or a long nozzle air gun, stickkin as far as you can and maybe blow ot out? I wouldn't spend much energy it will turnnto dust :-)
