jjcuff1 Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 I just changed my plugs and a piece of rubber gasket from boot (1/4" long by 1/6" round) fell into hole number 3. If I cannot grab it with a pair of clips can I start the engine with no damage?

mustang_eater12 Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 worst cse senario: you start the engine and the rubber melts, either gets expelled through the exhaust or stays on top of the piston and your exaust smells like burnt rubber for a while
cranny Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 yeah as long as its runbber and small , it wont hurt anything dude , but needless to say , dont make it a habit of feeding your engine through its spark plug holes , these are like bears in the zoo man , NO FEEDING THE HONDAS!! lol.
