I did something incredibly stupid tonight.

I was pulling the pre-chambers from my wifes 300D. To make a long story short, I was rushing to get them pulled before the sun went down.

I neglected to the glow plugs before removing the prechamber. Well I got one out and realized what I had done when I saw a clean swath down the face of the prechamber. I shined a light down into the cylinder and I can see shards of metal, likely from both the prechamber and the glowplug.

I am really not all that interested in pulling the head to clean this. Is it possible to just use a magnet to pull the bits of metal out?

The car has been having some odd power problems and I was hoping clean injectors and pre-chambers might help a little.

Any hope?
