Washers, screws, nuts, and miscellaneous other items dropped behind the engine while performing maintenance...that don't fall all the way through and hit the floor to escape!
I have found them sitting on the fuel pump cooling shroud, magnetos, prop governor. I know there are a bunch of 'shelves' that exist as part of the accessory case since I have found stuff just sitting there. I can easily pluck them out with a magnetic pick-up tool once I find them....it's the finding part that is the most difficult.
I don't want to go fly with something missing and possibly floating around up there since the throttle, prop, mixture controls, oil cooler flap, and heater box controls are all there - just waiting to be jammed....
Name some locations that you have found the most difficult to know exist and/or access.
