It was interesting how much hard carbon there was in there… maybe the OE prechamber wasn’t seated fully or something?



When I wiped the bore there was a lot that came out in chunks.



I don’t know what metal fell down or how. It couldn’t really have gone through the prechamber. Some of what came out may not have actually been metallic/magnetic. The carbon shards were also sticky/oily.



The prechamber was beat up though. I torqued the slide hammer in as far and hard as I could and the treads pulled out twice. Probably because of the angled insertion of the injectors/threads into the prechamber.





In the end I wiped with magnets, vacuumed with straws inserted down to the piston, and I think it’s pretty clean.
