forgot to get oil out of one of the plug wells, went into cylinder

[Terrorizer]

So I am doing the top 60k and while changing the spark plugs I forgot to get all the oil out of one of the plugwells so some of it went into the cylinder. Should I just start it up and let it burn off?

Roll it over, it will squirt out if it is liquid, whatever stays in will not be a problem.

It may misfires a little at first plus some smoke but dont sweat it.

...Unless there is enough oil in the cylinder to prevent the piston from being able to travel to top dead center. Try to suck or absorb some out of the cylinder.

Even if it were enough to lock the motor, I'd imagine it'd leak past the rings before you were ready to start.

Even if the oil was filled to the top of the valve cover , I dont see that happening. Its not a gallon of oil , **** I dont even know if all the oil would cover the whole piston.

Either way, crank it with the plugs out and the DIS disconnected before finishing up and trying to start it.

It was a small ammount, I got out a majority of the oil, id say the plug well was maybe 3/4 full

personally i would get a long reach blowgun, pull that plug out, bring that cylinder to top dead center [approx] and blow as much oil out as possible.

i might also go the extra distance of assuming there was dirt in said oil, and pour a bunch of thinner into the cylinder, then blow THAT out also, taking a max amount of dirt out with it

then add a teaspoon of oil back in to **** the rings properly and put it all back together

but thats just if you want to be picky
