    It is highly advisable to put rags down in the corner of the pan when doing the swaps because if you drop anything Murphy's Law says it is going to land in the pan.

    I personal wouldn't worry about it as long as it went under the windage tray. Pretty much can't get to anything important unless your jumping the truck and will never block the oil pump pick up. I've pulled motors down before and found mystery bolts in the bottom of the oil pan,

    I mainly worry about it getting under the oil screen and wearing a hole through it, once that happens it can get into the pickup tube.
