Is that not correct? If so, it would seem that it should keep out as much debris as the normal setup.

Sand and dirt will get in that hole anyway. Just make sure to use compress air to blow out the craps before removing the plug.

Maybe I missed something. The door mod doesn't affect the spark plug at all except it becomes accessible without removing tha fuel tank. It as about removing a bolt as Savage_Rob mentioned.

Lion,
what I meant was EVERY time you remove the plug you should take great care to not let any small rocks/road grime or sand fall into the cylinder through the spark plug hole. with the spark plug door method i don't think one can adequately see all that grime just waiting to pounce into the hole created when the plug is removed.

Unfortunately I didn't clean it when I changed to platinum plug. I hope there is no trouble inside. What damage can the grind cause?

Is that about right?
