these are the rocker shaft bolts I am talking about. The valve covers are not flat surfaced. They are cup shaped with a cup over every rocker. the cup protrudes 20 to 30 mm over rocker. Obvious if we look at the top valve covers from outside.
At an angle, the lower rocker shaft bolts fall if loose. Here is where to look (red circles), regards

Only two posts after the Megan Fox naked pic. See? What did I tell ya?

Car is now in the shop, bolt was indeed a rocker bolt, behind the lower valve cover on the driver's side.

Now checking to see if anything else was damaged.

Thanks for all the input, specially the Megan Fox pics.

Thanks for the update. I found it hard to believe a valve cover bolt would get in there.

As for the Megan Fox comment, it's hard to type one handed....

If there was no damage, you may have won the P-car lottery on this one.

I know it is Mike but the initial speculation was that it was a VC bolt.

Let alone thumbs only... It would be fair if she was 100% perfect
