Today we pulled the plugs, just for fun, Everything seemed fine back in August when I last checked them…Look at the pic, that’s strait from cylinder #3. It is the only one like that, They all seem rich, I figure that that’s from the fogging oil…. The rest of that plug is probably still in the cylinder, so what should we do? How would this have happened in a bone stock 4.3l V6?

Thanks,
Tommy

Crank it over with the plugs out, the coil wire off (or it you have a kill lanyard, yank it instead of pulling the coil wire), and the throttle wide open. This will blow any "large" chunks out the plug hole (I doubt there are any, but it's best to give it a try). Then put in new plugs and start him up. Let it warm up then run a compression check to determine the condition of the rest of the cylinder. You may be just fine.

Stop biting your nails.

wear rubber gloves, you should know the ladies don't like grease under the finger nails.

Go to the auto store and get one of those magnets on the end of a telescoping rod, the magnet pivots on the end of the rod. It will fit right in there and then you can move it around. I'm assuming the tip of the plug is of metal containing iron so as to stick to the magnet...... Try that first before turning it over.... I have one of these magnet rods in my garage... 2 bucks... When you think it's out, definitely do a compression check on that cylinder.....

You more than likely burnt the electrode off -- That means it turned into vapor and went out the exhaust. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Quit using those cheap assed Champion spark plugs !!!
