[Vwdiesel] stick stuck in cylinder

[James Hansen]

I would advocate trying to bonk it flat repeatedly, not with one big whack,
but through many smaller events trying to mash it up.
Even flattened, there really isn't enough space in there for a chopstick on
the flat to go through a full crank rotation.... and something has to wind
up giving up, and wood is pretty damn tough.  It won't pound up to mush, but
I'm pretty sure if you bonk it enough, it will get to be smaller that you
can blow out with a blow gun and lots of air.

Hi Guys,  We tried the shop vac again, hoping the piece has gotten smaller 
since we  tried burning it.  It's still in there.  Do you guys think 
smashing  it, by really turning the crank hard, would hurt the engine at
all?  With 
 the cam out, the engine locks-up solid. Jon            



Well, I've yet to see anything other than open valves damaged, when  a 
timing belt breaks 
at running speed...  Wouldn't expect a stick to bend a rod at hand  
cranking speeds, tapping 
it into the head.  Have seen rods bent on trying to tow start a  
hydraulic'd Ford 6 though.
