Take a guess at what's gonna happen to the socket if the crank or a rod hits it while the motor is spinning at 5,000 RPM?

I wouldn't even think about firing that engine with a socket in the oil pan.

I know it sucks man, but it's not as bad as constantly worrying when your motor is gonna randomly seize up on you because you didn't feel like doing the work to get the pan off.
