Oil Pan

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if you can drop the oil pan enough to retreive something in the bottom of it? While changing my fuel supply pump yesterday the tappet plunger fell out from the old pump and dropped to the bottom side of the camshaft
that I assume is open to the oil pan sump. Trying to avoid pulling the engine...........thank's.
Bill

Wow, how did you manage that jake? The head on the plunger seems larger than the drain hole and there's some sort of baffle plate over the drain hole?
