have you ever taken a little piece of ceramic from a spark plug and thrown it at a car window? the whole thing shatters.

Ceramic is very sharp. If i were you, which i'm glad i'm not right now, I would pull off the whole head and get in there and remove every dang piece of ceramic in there. because you WILL do major damage to your internall engine parts.

play it safe, take that whole thing apart. this way you fix it right the first time, and you won't have to buy a new motor...

or you can mickey mouse it, and get mickey mouse results
