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.
