Default cylinder sucks in screw?

Hi I'm no car mechanic but is it possible for a screw of the throttle body to be sucked into the cylinder? The screw is an 8-32 thread pan head.

not likely... unless the screw was unscrewed taunting the throttle body at the opening. Then the throttle body might find the need to suck him up.

Its been known to happen...I had a Panhead Harley years ago that sucked one, but Harleys being forgiving, spit it all the way through with no harm.

Thats the reason that butterfly screws are "staked".....That means that the exposed threads are distorted after installation so they cant back out. And of course red Loc-Tite is a given
