How do you clean out the head before you change the glow plug ?

[bubba 26]

I do'nt want to get dirt in the motor and this is hard not to do. I cleaned the center hole on the head with a very small brush and a Q tip.And blew it out with a air hose. And then removed the plug with the motor upside down then recleaned it with a Q tip while the motor was still upside down. Before putting in the new plug. Is there a spray and or a better way ? :\

I use denatured alcohol and compressed air. Brake cleaner works as well. Just try and keep it off of rubber and plastic.

Brake cleaner works awesome, just make sure it's the evironmentaly friendly non-chlorinated type. Less damaging to rubber and plastic.
