would this normally drop into the oil pan and not be picked up by the oil filter?

thanks for all the help guys, might just use this as my excuse to get those ported heads and FAST, damn the luck!! 
pretty sure theres a screen on the oil pick-up that would keep out pieces this big. I think?

About $6 I think.
I thought my 2009 didn't have one, but when I ordered one from Zip with some other stuff, the plug was identical to the one in the car. Identical in every way, including writing on it and the way it didn't seem to stick to anything metal in the garage...

It needs to have iron in it for the magnetic to be attracked to it. Not just metal...
