What is this object made of? If it is soft non-plastic, non-wooden organic stuff, I would not worry too much. If it is stuff made of plastic or wood, it is wise to get it out. There is a difference between a plastic worm and soft, amorphous Powerbait. One will almost certainly disintegrate in short order; the other will not.
But the oil screen probably has enough room that it will not plug the flow up.
If it is really soft Powerbait, I seriously doubt you will have any problems.

This thread has *troll* written all over it.

That fails the logic test right there.
That's what engineers do. They find the hardest way to accomplish the simplest things with havoc and mayhem every step. Fun to watch, but sad also.
Remove the valve cover and fish out whatever bait you dropped in there.
And use lighter fluid for your Zippo. I think you've already proven what using something for other than it's intended purpose can do....

the solution to this is so obvious ....
you just need to drop a small trout down into the valve cover. let him find the bait for you, then retrieve the trout
duh, guys, c'mon!

haha, nice puns
i'll ask a mechanic tomorrow, im thinking it'll dissolve and i should just change the oil next weekend (run it a little, let it dissolve, then change the oil)
pulling a valve cover , wow a lot of work, probably not yet
but if it's absolutely necessary, i'll do it or have a mechanic do it
is a blower motor resistor a tough job to do? i just bought one, i'll maybe do it next week

A valve cover is a lot of work? I'm sorry but I think even you could do it (no offense)
20 minute job.

also, is kingsford charcoal much better than the store brand charcoals and the charcoal lighter fluids? can you put charcaol lighter fluid in lighters instead of buying zippo brand lighter fluid? Thanks
What are you lighting with that Zippo??
Defiantly need to pass it around...

I think if you look at the postings the OP has made in the past year, you'll understand why some people are calling him a troll.
