I didn't say anything about using surgical instruments. I don't smoke, but I
have been painting a lot today. g

Is anyone in the chapter a surgeon or does anyone know one personally? I
have a surgeon friend who's an expert in performing abdominal surgery
through a tiny incision. He could remove your appendix though your belly
button. I think someone like him would find it possible to work through
the spark plug holes and squeeze the ring enough to let it slip past the
top of the sleeve.


I think you are smoking something strong if you think a surgeon is going
to use instruments intended for use in the body in a plane - and as a
general rule, the equipment/instrument is usually owned by hospitals, not
by the docs..

I like the grease gun idea the best.. any 'noncompressible' media will
do - water, grease, oil.. just not AIR..

OR.. fill the head with water, valves closed, spark plug hole sealed, and
freeze it. Water expands a little as it freezes.. it will overcome any
shear resistance the rings have.
