 Ok my engine is a 910 block and was rebulit less then 200Km ago, it has run no problem, last run at the track on 24th November 2007, then laid up over the off season, started now and then and drove it down to a race car show two weeks ago, 3km from my house no problem

Friday starter just 'clunked', assumed a dead battery, charged battry, no change, put on jump leads from my 4/4 no change, just clunked, checked all the conections all Ok.

Pulled the plugs out, and turned engine by hand, stuck, then freed as I pulled,, started ok. Plenty of good quality oil. Runs Ok now, but question is why did it stick? I'm told I could just be unluckey and it stopped at top dead centre, any thoughts?

Also this is a track car, and the spark plug holes fill up with stones, from the track, cleaning them out to remove the plugs is a big job, as i don't have compressor, any one got any ideas how I can stop the stones going in.

Thanks
