I dropped something (head in my hands).

Alright fellas, I am tearing into the top end very gentle like. I was pulling off the H cam cap and before I could get my fingers to it the cap bolt guide fell into the camshaft chain hole. Now, I know the chain goes all the way down to the crankshaft, do you guys have any suggestions of what I can do? It'll probably get easier to see the bolt guide as I take more of the top end off, but I would really like to NOT get into the bottom end. Ugh. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks guys.

Guys!!!!! I found it! It was sitting on a ledge in the cylinder head!! I'm so happy it didn't go down further.
