06 660 magnet inside engine case

Isnt there a magnet inside of the engine case?? or is it the drain plug that is magnetic?

I bent a valve and valve spring came off. I found 1 valve spring keeper in pieces. the other keeper i have not been able to find. i pulled head and jug off pulled stator cover off i am fishing around inside the case with magnets but cannot find the other keeper. I figured it had to be inside of stator cover. once the valve bent the engine died immediately so i cannot believe the keeper could have fallen down thru timing chain opening in head and jug and went thru the small opening into the main case and got that deep inside the main case that i cannot find it.

not sure what to do this is a fresh motor

Don't think the drain plug is magnetic,might be down by the screen at the oil pump?

 Yeah I was just thinking of that too. maybe pump was sucking enough to pull it in there. I did turn the engine over quite a bit trying to start it so the pump could have pulled it in while cranking it over.

i did not think the drain plug was magnetic but it seems to me there was something magnetic in there that was holding all of my chunks from my mangled mid drive gears.

thanks

thinking about putting the whole rhino on its side and maybe if the keeper is down by oil pump pickup screen it may fall out.

any other ideas anyone can think of??

put two long magnets down by oil pump flipped rhino over on its side and walla out came the missing valve spring keeper.
Now i will be able to sleep at night after its back together.

Glad u got it out,ive been down that road...had a big ass megacycle x4 cam in mine and it broke 2 valves springs..pulled engine out and most of the springs were down at the screen.
