Message	so, that didn't get into the engine. The wire for the dipstick got pulled in, as far as I can tell. My assumption is that it is wrapped around the crank. Unfortunately, I think I'm stuck pulling the engine and dropping the pan to check for damage. But, gives me a reason to contemplate manifolds. White wheels are getting painted silver this winter.
