gunk around spark plug
I have an 83 model Tenere (34L). On the weekend I was changing the spark plug and it wasn't until I had removed the plug that I noticed there was sandy gunk around the base of the plug. In retrospect I should have blown compressed air in the spark plug cavity to clean any muck out. Anyway I installed a new plug and fear some dirt/gunk may have fallen into the combustion chamber. What I want to know is will this sand be expelled out the exhaust pipe on the exhaust stroke or is it likely to sit around the rings and grind out the bore lining. I don't think much fell sand fell in, maybe a 1/6 of a teaspoon. Any response appreciated particularly that of Klaus.
Thanks
Doug
