how big was the chunk? to be honest with all that compression n shit i recon it would just burn that crap out thinking its a small piece.. on a larger scale good luck with the rebuild not gona sit here saying why did u start it.. the past is the past if she needs a rebuild just enjoy it :D i know i would:D

funny thing is i drove it for the first time in 7 months after my accident and this happends

it wasnt clicked over for 7 months cos i had a front end colision

ony drove it 100 kms grr i misss it lol

well i did the whoe process and its not as loud but still there

ionly started it for 5 seconds

i dont know weather to let it keep running and let it crush up for to leave it

hmm this is giving me the shits

i just did some reasearch on the ngk website and the dumbshit at autobran has given me the wrong plug i think

the codes are different too what i got so it might be the answer

SON OF A BITCH

Check part numbers in the shop, where possible check inside the packaging too. Nearly had wrong oil filters a few times and been handed the wrong fuel filter before. Same goes for plugs, everything really.

if it screws in fine, the fault is yours. i havent used the specified plugs in my car for 4 years.

it sounds like you're dead-set on running your car without checking anything at all. although i think its fcuking stupid i'll give you some tips on how to do a bit less damage than you already have:

pull out the CAS and injector looms, pull out ALL spark plugs, pour some oil (around 300ml) into the bore through the plug hole of the cylinder you dropped the crap into then crank the motor for 5sec. do this a few times.

this may not fix your problem but at least this way you have more of a chance of success than the route you're taking now. keep in mind that you should get ALL of the oil out before starting the car again otherwise you may cause the car to hydraulic lock once the plugs are in. its not as easy as it sounds so if you dont feel comfortable doing it - dont!

when you turn your car on you will get a fair bit of blue smoke out of the exhaust from the oil that is now in there - give it some time to burn up.

again, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK and i HIGHLY recommend you rip the head off or at least get a bore scope instead.

LOL @ the people saying it'll crush up/burn...

1: It's the end of a spark plug. It won't burn

2: While it's being "crushed up" it's being slammed into your bore and gouging the f**k out of it...

3: When it reaches the head side of things and gets to the valves... Even more trouble...

I have a piece of piston come loose and "crush up" in my motor... It took everything out, lost compression through the bottom end, and also smashed valves... And the only sign? Masses of blue smoke on throttle, and a lumpy idle.

The noise you are hearing wouldn't be a sticky lifter would it?

If you haven't started it for 7mths you might hearing something that is unrelated to dropping the porcelain in there....if you are lucky.

Security I thought of that today and u got a point

my friend contacted me and he said he had the same prob and he said. Could possibly flush it out and hope it hasn't scattered around the head. Bt if I still hear it I'll take the head off and go from there

thanks for the help ts been stressful

what if i tightend the spark plugs too hard woud it make a clunking sound?

impossible unless you fitted the wrong plugs (projected type), skyline plugs MUST be BCP type.... we use BCPR7ES, i see alot of BKR plugs in rb's and they are also WRONG.

The porcelain makes nice divits in the head and piston which in turn cause hotspots and promote pre ignition (pinking)

nothing wrong with BCP7ES :-) who needs that damn resistor anyway

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
