I have yet to do my plugs but I'm curious. How do you get the pieces of porcelain out of the cylinders after this process?

Just blow out the pieces of ceramic with compressed air. The tips seemed to break off in very small pieces and they blew out of the cylinders easily. Whole job took all of 8 hours, but probably spent 1 1/2 on one problem plug that the extractor kept pulling out of. Probably would have taken 6 or so from start to finish otherwise.

That second plug will never get used up now!
Does the engine run any different? Should be better now.

Ran a lot better. Would not run in overdrive on the highway or up a hill because it missed so bad. Runs like a new truck now. Glad I did it. It wasn't horrible to do, especially once we got the system down for using the tool.

Arriving at the store, I parked one space away from a truck that looked to be my twin.
After leaving the store both twins still where they had been.
I unload the groceries into my truck.
Take the shopping cart back to where it belongs.
Heading back to my truck I see a rusty / scratched spot that I had not seen before.
I'm looking this over and realize that the rust and scratch is not on my truck. It's the twin.
Thank God mine still looks almost like new.
