The plug is still in the chamber. Just need to vacuum them out today then put it all back together. Should be fine hopefully.

Go and hire an inspection camera from a tool shop and be sure. This could be catastrophic so worth checking properly.DaveZ4richardson said:The plug is still in the chamber. Just need to vacuum them out today then put it all back together. Should be fine hopefully.
Little so and so's, all good though plugs all replaced and new rocker cover gasket fitted. Fired up instantly. Happy days excess oil on exhaust burnt off now off for a well earned test drive .
Thanks for all the advice everyone, without your knowledge that job would of probably cost a few hundred quid.
Well, every picture tells a story. Oil leak on the rocker cover gasket, new gasket purchased along with plugs, stripped down slowly so i knew exactly where everything went, had a few traumas along the way. Mostly the porcelain on the plugs chipping off whilst being removed. Managed to retrieve all the broken bits. Put the car back together, fired up instantly, excess oil burnt off. This is the first time I have completed any mechanical work on a car so feeling rather proud of myself this afternoon. Cheers everyone.
Nothing better than fixing something yourself knowing you saved some cash along the way

That was plug 3 Rob. Got that one no problem but then plug 6 shattered too. 3 bits broken off. Got them all out eventually and cleaned it out with some blue tack around the top and the threads.
