help, dropped nut into intake

[wlf89]

02 s10 4.3 figured would get more traffic here.

i dropped the little nut that holds the fuel line hold down clamp into the intake and it shot right thru into the head.


pulled the intake hoping to fish it out with a flexible magnet with no luck. im assuming i will have to take the head off and try and rattle the nut out?

what are the chances the nut could live in there and not cause damage? im guessing it would eventually get down into the valve with my luck.

in the pic i have it circled in 1 of the 2 holes it went into, not that it matters
