    Valve cover bolt grommet meets Spark plug

    Hey guys,

    Just my luck, I've ran into a problem.. Removing those bolt grommets around the valve cover and one f*cking fell into the spark plug hole.. Any suggestions on getting it out?

    Thanks.

      Sweet, yea it fell down and my attempt to remove it pushed it further down..

      Quick search on harbor freight and they sell them. Thanks.

        My method for when these types of things happen are taking a long screwdriver, applying gasket sealer to the end, waiting a couple of minutes and then poke whatever you are trying to pickup. It kinda works like a magnet but not really. Cheap and effective.

          Ended up using some coat hangers on either side to get that stubborn thing out!
