jjcuff1 Posted May 27, 2007 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang_eater12 Posted May 27, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
