You better hope to god that it didn't fall inside the pipe and its going to potentially get sucked into your VANOS.

My ER has 2 bungs and the Allen screws are lock tight on the threads.

These should not fall off.. Don't worry there is no way it could have fallen in. Most likely was loose and just gradually unscrewed it self and popped outwards. Regardless of what brand it is, It should be a standard 1/8" NPT thread plug. Home Depot will have them in the plumbing section (brass fitting) if you are in a bind and need ASAP. Mike |

Depends how much you trust their threads to be airtight... there's a reason you typically put teflon tape on NPT type threads, i.e., for air compressors and such. I would remove, teflon tape, and then install tight.
