Hi.When I bought my gti6 engine I made the masterpiece of driving it home on a open trailer.
Not very dangerous itself, but I forgot to put some stuff into the intake holes on the head
to seal it (was missing the manifold) .

So the thing is that "some" random material has gotten into the head/cylinders. cyl 1&4 are closed by valves so thats ok, but 2&3 have some gaps down into the cylinder. I can see that theres some small specks of crap in the intake holes...

Is it safe to just try to vacuum most of the crap up through spark hole and crank it after that?
Engine just had a new head gasket so would hate to tear it apart to find its shiny...

have you got a compressor? blow it out through the inlet and exhaust, then if possible get a small end on a hoover and suck anything else out that could be left in there. just don't be clumsy and hit the valves
