Can't reach from lifter valley. I have took out some bent ones and stuck ones,sometimes you can get hold of rod with needle nose visegrips and take a pry bar and move it,or if that does'nt work can cut a notch in rod to pry against. have welded pieces to rod to pry against then cut back off when moved as far as can to get through hole,if you block drain hole back in there can cut,grind,weld without getting junk into engine,drain hole is only opening so if it is blocked can clean that area back out without getting into rest of engine.
