Killer Dowel Pin Lottery Winner

So i finally said screw it and I ordered the KDP fix and went about doing it on a sunday morning. Well, turns out my pin had fallen out!

Never had a big oil leak or anything, but as soon as I took the timing cover off, I heard something hit the ground, and my heart sank. Turns out, the pin fell out, slightly smudged the aluminum timing case, and went straight to the bottom!

I could not believe it. I should have gotten pictures. Just wanted you guys to know that sometimes, we get smiled on from above.
