Plugged spark plug holes

Even thread chasers can leave small chips here and there. Don't just use a plug as suggested. It does not cut and may damage the threads because it can compact the material that has built up and "jam" the threads.
Well it's either one or the other. I wouldn't use a tap only as a last resort. Plug thread chasers are designed for this particular use. The modified plug is a last resort before you pull the head and clean the threads with a thread chaser. :BangHead::BangHead:
