At this very moment in time, I can honestly say that this is the cleanest my hole has been since the very beginning :shock: and now I have everybody looking at my hole. Go ahead. I’m not embarrassed so you shouldn’t be. Enjoy
NOW IS A PERFECT TIME FOR OLD SPICE…

That hole is very clean indeed! I usually spend the time to clean the spark plug holes out anytime I remove the plugs, particularly on cars I have not worked on before. They always seem to be dirty for some reason, and there is a danger the spark plugs get dirt under the crush washer and don't seat properly.

I degreased and pressure washed the top of my engine, and then vacuumed out the water with a shop vac, and blew it out with air. I didn't want any oily grit getting inside.
