Something went in to the motor
Something went in to the motor
Like it says, I was doing a intake cleaning with one of those aerosol can things, you know the straw that you can attach to the nozzle. Ya it went in to the motor. I soon as i noticed we stopped the engine and opened all the spark plug holes and it was in cylinder #2 crushed and soggy ( the tube that is). Anyways, my question is this something i have to disassemble the engine for or can i just restart the engine and let it work through? I am mostly worried about it going through the turbo and ****ing **** up. Keep in mind it is a plastic straw thing. I already posted in the online mechanic but that forum moves to slow. Thanks

DON'T try to run it the rest of the way through the motor. If I was you I would try going down to the hardware store and get a hemostat (it looks like a cross between scissors, and pliers, only they lock when you close them) and try to fish it out. If that doesn't work, you'll have to pull the head.
Good luck...

Re: (1990flatblack240)
Thats exactly what we did kinda, we crancked the motor to TDC and then rigged up tweezers taped to needle nose pliers and then fished it out. Besides that i ran it a couple times with the one plug out and it shot some of it out. All in all i think i was very lucky and it just goes to prove anything can go wrong when working on your car. **** what a weekend.1990flatblack240 wrote:tweezers? Turn the motor over so the piston is at TDC so its closer to the piston.

yup those things work wonders, looks like the thing from total recall. loliliketocrash wrote:what about those things that are long and flexible and it's got a knob on the end that extends an retracts little claw like things. i think it's called a snake or something. good for fishing things out of drains and such.
