Zaactly,learned that lesson a long time ago when putting an engine together. Luckily,it was still on the engine stand,had to turn (rotate) the whole engine on the stand a few times to make it fall in the oil pan to get it out....
Since then, I ALWAYS stuff a clean shop rag in every hole possible.....
