2) Any minute crud or debris that falls into the pre-chamber probably will be burn off over time. So there is really nothing to worry about unless you drop a small screw driver or nut/bolt in there.

3) I would plug the holes with a rag once the injectors are out.

Have fun.
Sounds good. Thanks. I did take care to clean around the base of the injector with a brush and air before I pulled it but I did see a very small amount of crud fall in as I was pulling the heat shield out.
