Was in a hurry to fit a new set of plugs, and manged to drop one plug.
Now its somewhere on top of the LH Head, out of sight and reach. Can't seem to get at it through the spark plug opening on the cooling shroud. Havn't tried yet, but is there any chance of retrieving it from underneath ? Hoping i won't have to remove the shroud to get at it... Any and all advice will be most welcome... Thanks |

Industrial tweezers work well..
Almost every core we rtear down has at least one spark plug under the cooling tin.. Some have plugs and plug sockets as well... One had SIX spark plugs and one socket- they killed the engine by obstructing the cooling air. |
