    The water nipple on the cylinder head is not good. I don't want to touch it if it's a chance to destroy something.
    What do you think?

    First clean it up gently and measure how thick the wall is.
    Use a knife gently and remove all the alu oxide.

    I would use a dental tool...slowly clean it OUT..being careful none of that gunk goes "in"..
    You may be able to get a dental tool at a "tool store"...that is where I got mine.. It's generally good for such applications & the tool is nice & small for this.

    I would do what Mark said with a vacuum running next to the nipple to make sure nothing goes in.
