Help! Porcilin Fell Into Engine

[johnnyt]

wow im still trying to figure out why you started it....

snap on bore scope, comp test and leak down and a f*ckload of praying,hope and luck is your friend now

[agsryd]

^^thats reasuring lol

im cleaning it out and im going to try again

hopefuly it spits it out i know its only grains not chunks

[OMGGTR]

how big was the chunk? to be honest with all that compression n shit i recon it would just burn that crap out thinking its a small piece.. on a larger scale good luck with the rebuild not gona sit here saying why did u start it.. the past is the past if she needs a rebuild just enjoy it i know i would:D

[wolverine]

go with fatz on this one.

[agsryd]

funny thing is i drove it for the first time in 7 months after my accident and this happends

it wasnt clicked over for 7 months cos i had a front end colision

ony drove it 100 kms grr i misss it lol

[Marcus89]

Dam thats unlucky man (note to self make sure nothings falls into motor when changing spark plugs) although hopefully it isn't damaged or only caused minor damage

[johnnyt]

sorry lad, its one of those things ya do in the heat of the moment and regret the sh*t out of it!

if ya can find a bore scope you'll get a better idea of whats happened

[agsryd]

well i did the whoe process and its not as loud but still there

ionly started it for 5 seconds

i dont know weather to let it keep running and let it crush up for to leave it

hmm this is giving me the shits

[agsryd]

i just did some reasearch on the ngk website and the dumbshit at autobran has given me the wrong plug i think

the codes are different too what i got so it might be the answer

I don't see how that will have anything to do with you busting the plug.

Check part numbers in the shop, where possible check inside the packaging too. Nearly had wrong oil filters a few times and been handed the wrong fuel filter before. Same goes for plugs, everything really.

[PM-R33]

Just cause it has a different part number doesn't mean shit. The NGK site will list the platinums, he probably gave you the coppers, therefore he knew what he was doing.

[SECURITY]

if it screws in fine, the fault is yours. i havent used the specified plugs in my car for 4 years.

it sounds like you're dead-set on running your car without checking anything at all. although i think its fcuking stupid i'll give you some tips on how to do a bit less damage than you already have:

pull out the CAS and injector looms, pull out ALL spark plugs, pour some oil (around 300ml) into the bore through the plug hole of the cylinder you dropped the crap into then crank the motor for 5sec. do this a few times.

this may not fix your problem but at least this way you have more of a chance of success than the route you're taking now. keep in mind that you should get ALL of the oil out before starting the car again otherwise you may cause the car to hydraulic lock once the plugs are in. its not as easy as it sounds so if you dont feel comfortable doing it - dont!

when you turn your car on you will get a fair bit of blue smoke out of the exhaust from the oil that is now in there - give it some time to burn up.

again, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK and i HIGHLY recommend you rip the head off or at least get a bore scope instead.

LOL @ the people saying it'll crush up/burn...

1: It's the end of a spark plug. It won't burn

2: While it's being "crushed up" it's being slammed into your bore and gouging the f**k out of it...

3: When it reaches the head side of things and gets to the valves... Even more trouble...

I have a piece of piston come loose and "crush up" in my motor... It took everything out, lost compression through the bottom end, and also smashed valves... And the only sign? Masses of blue smoke on throttle, and a lumpy idle.

The noise you are hearing wouldn't be a sticky lifter would it?

If you haven't started it for 7mths you might hearing something that is unrelated to dropping the porcelain in there....if you are lucky.

[xximpaktxx]

i did the same thing on my focus just smashed the bit of spark plug up and after a few minutes was running fine

[agsryd]

Security I thought of that today and u got a point

my friend contacted me and he said he had the same prob and he said. Could possibly flush it out and hope it hasn't scattered around the head. Bt if I still hear it I'll take the head off and go from there

thanks for the help ts been stressful

[STATUS]

what if i tightend the spark plugs too hard woud it make a clunking sound?

impossible unless you fitted the wrong plugs (projected type), skyline plugs MUST be BCP type.... we use BCPR7ES, i see alot of BKR plugs in rb's and they are also WRONG.

The porcelain makes nice divits in the head and piston which in turn cause hotspots and promote pre ignition (pinking)

nothing wrong with BCP7ES :-) who needs that damn resistor anyway

BCP is the type so yeah they are fine. For dailys i would still use a BCPR
