Nice catch, I hate it when I loose a fastener when I am building a motor, one can drive themselves nuts looking all over the shop floor for it, trying to figure out, if it is indeed in the motor.
I dropped a small 10 mm nut down the intake of a 5.4 triton while doing head gaskets. I did not notice it. Lit the motor, all was well for about 5 seconds, and Kaboom!!!!, mass destruction, actually broke through the cylinder bore, holed a piston, and bent a rod, oops.
