Cleaning spark plug area...

[alexjcr]

How do I clean this area of the cylinder head? It's the hole where the spark plugs go into. I was able to clean about half way in but now the plug is in the way. Obviously, I'm not removing the plug because I don't want any fluids or grime going into the combustion chamber. Also, removing the head is not an option.

Any tips on how I can clean this area?

On a cold engine, don some goggles and spray away at it with brake cleaner!

I was thinking about that. And then using an air compressor to get everything out.

All clean now. Once my brain kicked in, I noticed that I can wipe that area with a rag soaked in brake cleaner. All that grime came out easily.
