piece of spark plug went inside spark plug hole, please help
I was changing spark plugs on my 03 eclipse rs, somehow the ceramic of one of the spark plugs broke off when i was unscrewing it. The ceramic broke off with the metal tip of the spark plug, the inner metal of the plug also broke. When I was trying to take it out, one of the small pieces from inside the spark plug fell inside the spark plug hole, right into the engine. how do I get this out? I cant believe this happened, changing spark plugs is supposed to be a 20min process tops.

Re: piece of spark plug went inside spark plug hole, please help
I don't think I would take that chance even if the piece was metal and you could use a magnet. If I was you I would take the head off and do it right. Its alot cheaper to pull the head off and pick out the piece/pieces than to buy a new motor on the chance that you don't completely get the piece/s out.

Re: piece of spark plug went inside spark plug hole, please help
Ouch... That is brutal... But I'd had to agree with the magnet idea if it was just a metal piece... Then again, who's to say that you won't miss a piece of it and really mess things up when you start it up...
