Oh boy, I did I mess up my valve adjustment.

Glad to hear you got it out. I would have either tried to blow it out with compressed air or vacuum it out with shop vac.

Glad you got it out!

My idea was to use an air compressor to blast the zip tie out, if it was sitting on the piston.

Then put a couple drops of oil down the cylinder afterwords, just incase the air caused the walls to get "too" dry.

I would have put it back together, closed my eyes reeeealy tight, hit the start button and prayed.

I'm sure a minute or two at wide open throttle would have gotten rid of it. One way or the other.

I don't think that would have quite worked

It would burn/melt instantly at combustion temp!
