I recently ordered a tune from Dizzy, to prepare for the tune I ordered new plugs. Pretty normal stuff except when I pulled the coil I found a bunch of pebbles sitting in the spark plug well... I tried using air and a vacuum but my current attachments do not penetrate far enough to reach the debris out create enough flow to suck them up..


ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS? obviously I'm not pulling the plugs until I get that debris out.

Haven't had to do plugs on my ride yet, but in three prior vehicles I've used a blow gun with 150 PSI compressed air.

Just keep your peepers clear of whatever debris comes shooting out of that hole.

I will improvise and use a Long Pick with tape with the sticky side out on the end and wrap it around and dab it onto the debris and pick it up. Re-apply tape as necessary and repeat.

I am about to buy extra long forceps and something sticky. The pebbles seem to hit the flange of the plug and bounce back down with compressed air... The valve cover shape isn't helping lol
