Waiting on a torque wrench to click,, youve got too much leverage to "Feel" a spark plug crush washer work..
Ive never seen plugs installed with a torque wrench. They put torque specs in the book for everything, but not everything needs a torque wrench. Get a ratchet, put it in, dont even TRY to tighten a plug till it stops. Use antisieze, Its like Brylcreme, a little dab'll do ya.
Just use a short 3/8ths ratchet & dont put much work into it,,
I like Daves answer a lot, Id Start there. The only thing that bothers me about it is GETTING the piston to bottom dead center. Youve gotta do that w/o ever letting the piston move UP, so, dont go past BDC & let it start back up & dont go toward TDC. You dont wanna catch any busted chips between jug wall & piston.. Id start with layin it on its side & vacuuming. I would want a Super Clean vacuum to start with, wash the hose insides out, or maybe figure some "Catch can" inline or maybe just a piece of tee shirt pulled across where the hose attaches, so I could SEE what I was getting out,, But, of course, a tee shirt would be somewhat restrictive,, & yea, go easy on the grease. After youve done all ya can with the vacuum, unless you can get hold of an inspection tool & KNow its clean, then Id go fishin with a wire,,
Now, you CAN get some very stiff but very thin wire at the hobby shops that cater to airplane builders. I call it piano wire, sometimes they call it control rod wire, Take the hose thatll pass thru the plug hole, & some masking tape or dental floss or fine fishing line & connect the wire to the hose, that way you can actually point the hose where ya want it.,You can shape the wire at the end & make the hose not round, kinda like a crevice attachment. That changes the area, makes it smaller, increases flow rate, as long as ya dont decrease it enough to make such a restriction it decreases it.. It could A: Reach that piston/wall junction better B: suck a little harder If ya hear that "Im kinda plugged up" sound, gently pull out & see whats on your hose..
