One of those effen weeks

[NightHeat]

 ;D  Don't feel bad, several of my few minute jobs have turned into complete disasters.

Grattan, 40 minutes until my next race, Ex500 with a cylinder head full of pea gravel and fouled plugs.  Bodywork and tank off, bike resting on handlebars and subframe, and me underneath it with the air hose from the tire guy....
I made the start!

I'm afraid to ask, but how does one get a cylinder head full of pea-gravel?

I'm thinking a trip into the kitty litter with flat slides.....

We'll see how close I am.

The pea gravel was on the outside of the head, where the plugs screw in.  The whole valley was full of the stuff.  The plugs were fouled, but I didn't dare try to take them out with all that gravel in there.
I could tell you a horrific story about gravel in flatslides, but it would be too painful for me, and I'm having a pretty good day.  (Considering that I'm not going to Blackhawk.... :'()
