As title really. Managed to get some plastic swarf down the injector hole from the bottom of the injector. Do I need to strip the head off? If it was metal iId be more concerned obviously. Anyone know what the possible consequences might be if I just fire her up?
 
Not sure really, but I would try and get it out with a vacuum.

Put some thin cloth over the nozzle so you can see if you get it.
 
How much swarf? (And how did it happen?)

When cleaning out spark plug holes (with the spark plug removed), I have often seen small bits of junk go down the bores with no adverse effects.


Oli.
 
tapping the injector back down trapped the plasic cup on the bottom of the injector as it mustn't have been square [:mad:]. Got the main bits. Does the plastic bit come with an injector seal kit.

The injector seal kit is about a fiver and seems to have 4 parts - don't know what the other 2 parts are though.
