    give me some of that yard bird !

    hmm tin foil reminds me of a rocker panel i cut out once was stuffd with tin foil from a bbq and bondo squishd over it lol

    i think it will just burn up and blow out and if it does break its becuse its not a blue oval :p
     
  2. If it is still on the engine stand, just turn it on it's side.

    Might drop out on it's own, or might get it near enough to hole for vacuum to work.

    Good luck with the foil removal.

    I didn't know you had to mask spark plug holes, I squirt paint into them when I paint an engine....I've done it for decades. The engines all seem to run just fine.

    Sounds like a fun task, let us know what happens

    color was VHT hi temp copper - picked a rattle can up for $8.50 at Autozone. That paint was the smoothest I've ever seen come out of a can.

    Dont put Any RTV into the hole, then you would have to ask how to remove gobs of that in the cylinder. ;-)

    Fire that dude up and dont worry about it. That small piece of aluminum will compress easily, and either burn up quickly or fly out the exhaust.
    Dont sweat the small stuff!
     
  10. By God why in the hell would you worry about some overspray down the hole?
    It's aluminum foil. Fire it up! What's the worst thing that can happen?

    LOL, that's some funny shit right here............

    just turn it on its side and when you have gravity working with you, use some tweezers. it will be easier this way because gravity will be keeping it in the hole as apposed to you trying to fight it.
