HELP!! broke chopsticks in combustion chamber, anyone for chinese? Options

[opera guy]

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

Thanks for at least trying one of my wak ideas Zylene some plastics do desolve quickly. How about droping the exaust pipe, use the valve adjustment to crank open the exaust if needed, and same method to close the intake, spark plug out, then pipe the consistant CFM of air flow from the blowing side of a 3to 5hp shop vac or good gas leaf blower, then with that light I showed you from Sears you will see the thing churning around from all the air blowing in the bottom exaust valve. While doing this slightly move the crank and piston incase it is already binded in there. (3 reasons to use blower instead of an Air compressor.... 1. blower will reamain consistant pressure and flow for an hour if needed. Most home compressors would fall flat in 6osec it would running and blowing at 4o psi if your lucky and with low CFM. 2. Moisture most home air compressors with short hoses and lack of maintaince eg draining the tank will definitly blow some water in the motor. After running alot the tank and hose get warm alowing more water down the hose. 3. The hookup is easy for the blower. Shop vac 2.5"x1.25 adaptor with normal 1.25dia plastic vacuume hose, slit the end of the hose if nessary to fit it to the exaust port. Then use the light wand from Sears to watch the action in the cylinder. Its wand is long enough to hit the piston on the down stroke and will light the whole chamber.

I hope this makes up for the comments others made about my fire that muther up post. I didnt think of clearance problems if a piece held a valve open too far.

PS OT if you ever have used Goof Off from a paint store, used for tar. marker, tree sap removal and 101 other things Zylene does all just the same so dont toss it, it's good stuff.
