and i dont even think i can push the shavings into the cylinder because the plug wont go that far.

 

Either way the grease wont matter as long as it doesnt get on the electrode, the plug will ground itself through the nut when it touches the head.

 

and if there was shavings in the threads wouldnt that mean there are already shavings in the cylinders? f-ck me

 

Thread chaser is similar to a tap and die except instead of cutting new threads it cleans them.

 

Shavings=loose metal slivers
Gaulded=screwed up threads that cant be used

 

whats a boroscope? im sure i can get one somewhere unless its real hard to find. so because it is magnetic what do you think its from?

 

Nope not if you get one that cleans as you run it out. Either way he is going to get some $hit in the cylinders he can just hope for the minimum amount.

 

NOt necessarily but likely.

 

i had an idea, i was going to say a magnetic retriever, but if the shavings on your spark plug are from *cough* the head, i dont think aluminum is magnetic, this COULD be bad bud. im praying its your spark plug, and the threads are just damaged. Did you try another plug??? whenever i replace the plugs, im extremely careful when threading the, heads arent cheap. and neithe is the repairs on them....

i dont have much else to help on cleaning out shavings, other than i would LIGHTLY coat my finger, with dialetric (spelling) grease, and see if i cant get them to stick to it. im talking about LIGHTLY!!!

someone else my consider that a bad idea, but i dont forsee any problems with it.

couldnt the loose metal slivers get bound up when trying to thread the plug and cause it to stop moving?
