I changed out 3 of 8 spark plugs..and noticed on the 4th one there was some dirt right around where the spark plug seats. And I used some compressed air to clean the remaining 5 plugs from any dirt and debrie. Can some thing happend to the engine is some dirt fell through the first 3 cylinders????

you'll probably be ok if it was only a little bit, but don't make it a habit of letting dirt into a cylinder. a teaspoon of dirt is enought o make an engine seize up. next time use compressed air to spray around the plugs BEFORE you pull them
