dropped a socket down the timing cover area :( FML
working on my gf's sc400 i dropped a socket down the passenger side timing cover plastic while I was changing the distributor cap and rotor. any suggestions on what i should do to retrieve it. is there any short cuts besides basically doing a timing belt on it?

you have to pull everything off and reveal the timing belt!

It's just the timing covers., no need to remove the timing belt or anything.

taking off the covers is easy, just a lot of 10mm bolts.
