I am a MUPPET!! (Dropped something in a bore)
« on: 10 August 2008, 18:46:10 »
On my 3.0, I was changing the spark plugs.

I removed the plug on no 4, and as I did so, a piece of rubber (from the end of the plug lead), has fallen into the Bore.

I can't get it out, I've tried all sorts.

Presumably I should now remove the cylinder head to get it out?   ::)

Can you bowwow a compressor and try and blow it out.

If it's rubber cant you flush it out with a water jet.  Not the best way to do things, and maybe not the most practiacl, but maybe far quicker than taking the head off. :y

I am wondering, maybe fill the bore with water and let it float up to the top....

How big a piece was it? If it was metal I might worry, but a piece off the spark plug boot will burn up in no time. If you can't get it out personally I would not be too phased. Certainly not to the extent of taking the head off. Mind you there is an excellent how to written by someone called JamesV6CDX :D ;D ;)

Take his head off instead ;D ;D ;D ;D

If it's rubber I'd agree with the above, is may well burn off pretty quickly.... ;)
