sound awesome mate thanks ....my mate was saying put gaffer tape round the throttle body with a vaccum line and take the exhaust manifole side off and blow it out will that work ....i havent started the car since it happend so im hopen it will be ok

Dont start it,suck it out with vacume cleaner.I learnt this the hard way,glad i was there when it happened at a work shop,trust me you don't want to know what it sounds like when the key is turned on,horrible by by engine.

geez i could imagine ......now what if there is a small bit i dont suck up for instance will it cause damage to the motor ...

[R31Nismoid]

Yes. You dont want any bits left behind ideally.

How did you manage it anyhow? gapping the plugs incorrectly?

my mate had this happed, he thought he had it all out and bam, wrecked motor. He went to great lengths to get it all out too. Vac, etc.

Maybe a borescope mate?

+1 for having a really good look before you start it up.

hope u kept the damaged plug so you match the broken bit to it, will atleast tell u if there's another bit still missing

[talky]

yeah still got the plug ...wots a bore scope ??? cheers for the help fellas

[James_03]

A bore scope is an optical device that you put down the spark plug hole to inspect the bore with, sort of like a camera.

There expensive and probably not something you buy for a one off excercise. You may be able to borrow one but.

Lay off on the torque next time you put them in.

[TiTAN]

you can also use copper grease on the sparkplug thread when putting them in to help when it comes time to remove them

[talky]

was also told try abit of wire with some grease on the end of it and see how that gose ???

[gotRICE?]

One thing you could to to make sure you got it, is throw a stocking over the end of one of the vacume pipes when you put them together, that way it will still flow air, but the bit of the plug will get caught in the stocking.
