I have no idea what orifice you dropped this bolt into. Your information is very lacking. "I dropped it in the engine" is like saying I dropped my keys while in the boat and not knowing if they are in the boat or in the lake or on the road on the way to the lake. Where did you drop it?

If you dropped that bolt in the vicinity of the sensor, then there is no way it went inside the engine. There are no openings leading inside the engine anywhere in that area so the bolt has to be outside of the engine caught on something.
