I need spark plug help
So I was using the lisle tool to get broken plugs out. I pushed the porcelain down too far and it broke a piece off the metal tip where the spark is generated. It's one side of the little metal "hoop" at the very tip of the plug that broke off. I stuck a magnet in the cylinder and didn't pick it up. What do I do? Can I crank it with no spark plugs in and try to blow it out the plug hole? Will it end up getting shot out the exhaust manifold if I put all the new plugs in and crank it up? It's a pretty small piece. It's probably a little less than half of the metal tip. The rest came out with the broken part of the plug

Usually the metal doesn't break off, it just just breaks on one side where the porcelain pushed down but stays connected to the plug. So my comment would be..are you sure the ground strap broke off in the cylinder? Attach a small hose to your shop vac and vacuum out the inside of the cylinder.

there's way too much stuff in the bag to be able to see a tiny little piece of metal. I'm pretty sure I would have gotten it if it was there? Should I put all the new plugs in and fire it up, or should I do something else to try to get it out if it's still in there?
