Don't rub salt in the wound. The thing snapped... It's a 1 inch piece inside the head. I see it with the flashlight through the hole. it is sitting lengthwise. across the hole. sigh. I'm not very happy right now. I'm actually kind of sad.
I need suggestions of what to do. I cannot spend money opening up the head. I just can't.
How do I retrieve that bamboo skewer piece? is there a way to fish from valve cover side?
What would be a way to attract a piece of bamboo to something long and slender? I don't want to jostle it, I don't even know what it is sitting on top of at this moment.
-bearing grease on a long metal piece that will not break?
-disinigrate the bamboo skewer somehow?

So much for being dilligent about cleaning out the injector hole.
Please reply with some good answers, I don't want to just try anything at this point....
I guess I'll clean the rest of the holes WITHOUT THE SKEWERS. Don't do it. I wish it was metal... (but then i would have been scratching the head, thus the bamboo)
No earthquakes please.
