sigh,
it was suggested to me from two different sources to use a stick (wooden dowel, pencil, chopsticks...etc) to put into the sparkplug hole to try to find TDC. Needless to say, when ever i work on my car, things gets... complex. so i got this chopstick in the sparkplug hole... turn the wheel and the chopstick started to go down.. down..good, this is going well, so i thought. then i kept turning the wheel, chopstick start to move up. IM EXCITED!! this is gonna work!!! yes!! then, snap, my chopstick broke in half. half was hanging out the sparkplug hole, the other half fell in! is my only alternative = pulling the heads? or can i somehow "fish" out the broken chopstick? argggg help this is a brand new rebuilt, less than 500 miles |

Maybe a gynecologist could get it !!!
Think about this. Get another chopstick, see if it floats in water. IF it floats, fill the cylinder with water....I know, I know, relax it's TEMPORARY...float the chopstick to the top, snag it and pull it out. Syphon the water out. Change the oil, run it, change the oil again. No harm done.... If you don't like the water, test other fluids that you would be more comfortable with and see if the chopstick floats.... Hey, if it doesn't work, you're planning to pull the head anyway..... |
