when i finished scaping the old headgasket off of the block (still in car) some of the old shavings got into the cylinders. i was wondering if these would hurt anything. i would think they might. if so whats the easiest way to get it out? i was thinking compressed air but i dont have an air compressor to blow it out with.

 

I used a shop vac to get most of it out. Whatever couldn't be pulled out by hand or with the shop vac I figured was too small to do any damage and would get burnt up and pushed out the exhaust anyways.

 

shop vac. or a can of air like you use for cleaning keyboards. dont leave any junk in cylinders.

 

good idea with the shop vac, ill try that. thanks
