Yes, this is going to sound awful, but when I was changing my spark plugs, there was oil in the far right hole. So, in a dumb idea, I used a twist tie at the end of a metal rod to attach a rag, and the twist tie came off and fell into the spark plug hole, and I can't see it. Do I have to take off the cylinder head to remove it, or can I fire up the engine and it will burn it up? The only way I can think of to get it out without taking the cylinder head off would be to stick a tube inside and have it attached to a vacuum, or a magnet on a string, either of those ideas sound like they would work? How much space is inside underneath that one hole?

 

doesnt seemlike a good idea to fire it up, as twist ties have a metal piece inside that could/will cause damage

 

raise whichever cylinder to TOP DEAD CENTER and stick they ol' vaccum in.

 

damn nice new sig pic there finch

 

autozone/barn sells thin magnetic probes, perhaps small enough to get in the hole. You'd be fishing in the dark for the twist tie but it may save some time. Magnet on a string is a bad idea cause you could end up loosing the magnet in the hole too.

 

wait is it a twist tie (bread bags) or a zip tie? lol... yeah if its a twistie use a magnet.




Thank man... I finally got around to making one... it's only temporary, I don't like the glare off the lights, but it hides the fact that my car isn't modded and has steelies on it...

 

i think the glare makes it jdm yo, heres what you do you make the glare red so it looks like this

 

HAHHHAHAHAHAHA

Fawk yeah! A rising sun at dusk would be mad JDM yo.

 

I'd try the magnet .... it's not going to be easy since it's going to stick to everything in there, but worth a try.

 

Empty out a small shop vac. Use a smaller diameter piece of hose that will fit in the plug hole and suck it out. With a clear hose you might even see it go by!
