Fast food tools

Cleaning up the block to install the Ricardo head. Fast food cup lids from one of them are 3 3/4" + & work great for keeping things from getting
in the cylinders. Vacuum out the carbon & use the nozzle to pull the lid out. Or just turn the engine over & push them out.

What a great idea! I recently used a paper coffee cup to keep scrub water out of the wheel bearings when cleaning up the long neglected Hayes wire wheels on the '14 Touring. It worked great but took two of them as they soaked through eventually.
