Some mechanics also have a diagnostic scope or camera that can be put into each cylinder via the spark plug hole. I sucked up the pieces with a shop vac and installed a new plug. Couple days ago terrible rattling noise coming from. From my earlier post i managed to get the compression test adapter out of the spark plug hole.

When removing the plug a piece of plastic fell into the cylinder. The pieces fell into the cylinder. I watched it tried to save it but failed so i haven t tried to crank my car because i know it would could cause damage to my gasket head. A peace of the spark plug broke off and fell into the cylinder wall and i started it and now it s knocking.

Well it turns out that a ceramic piece broke off of the spark plug and fell into the first cylinder. I was swapping plugs yesterday where one plug had very brittle ceramic and small bits fell into the cylinder. Small piece of porcelain from spark plug dropped into combustion chamber. I have a serious problem here.

When i was taking them out 3 of them broke. I managed to change them with out getting any porcelain in the combustion chamber then i got to the last one and oops there goes a little piece of porcelain right down the hole. Hi there i was changing my spark plugs and ignition coils in my 2009 chevy traverse due to a check engine light that appeared. A while back changed the spark plugs on a 05 3 5 and a plug came out with the ceramic portion cracked.

I vacuumed the bits out and it seemed like i got all of them out.
