Carbon, where will it go?

[midwestls]

Hey, got another quick question. I pulled my intake today to put a new set of lifters in. I'm just wondering where them center ports on the heads go? You all know, the ones the plug up with carbon? I dropped a piece (of carbon) in there tryin to break it up? What should I do? Pull the head? Someone's got to have done this?

Vacuum it if you have a good vacuum. Otherwise it will blow right back up to where your EGR is.

So it ain't really a big deal if I can't get it??? I just don't want it to get to a valve or cylinder.

If you can get it out, do so. However, that area provided you have the EGR hooked up will always have air moving away from the cylinders towards your intake. Chances are, it would just get hung up on the EGR. If you are deleting the EGR, you can try vacuuming it, or turn the motor over a bit with nothing there while vacuuming.
