I recently helped my son put Timeserts in the four spark plug holes of his Ford Focus. We filled a cylinder with greased rope and used a greased tap on the hole. The tap came out with lots of chips on it. The rope then came out with lots of chips on it. Then I used a vacuum cleaner with a small wand I made to vacuum the rest of the chips out of the cylinder. Then we moved on to the other three, and the engine has been running fine for a few thousand miles.

Luckily the spark plug hole is in the top center of the cylinder so vacuuming was easy.
