Dropped lil piece of rubber in sparkplug hole!!!!!
I pulled my sparkplug wire off and when I pulled my sparkplug out a lil piece of the rubber fell in the chamber, I took a vaccuum and tried to suck it out but im not sure if I got it or not.....I already put the sparkplug back in, but I havent started the car yet cause I just put a new vc gasket on and im waiting till the morning so the silicone will b dry...Is this goin to b a problem if the rubber is still in the chamber??

how big was it. It will probably just get burned up and thrown out the exhaust. So dont worry about it.

I'd say head removal - it's quite possible it will get burnt out and spit out like b16a3delsol said - I don't think it can cause any damage unless it gets jammed in an open valve - but I'd still take it out by taking off the head.

Do whatever you want with your motor, but I'm sure he probably wants the safest fix possible.
If you want to go the homemade tool route, try getting some kind of stiff but flexible line and put a strong adhesive on the end to try and get it (might be easier than trying to grab it with something). Any adhesive (from duct tape for example) left in the cylinder will burn up instantly, however a piece of rubber may not...Don't start the engine!
