Re:spark plug came out tough won't go back right 2 Years, 10 Months ago

I got it fixed

I was getting worried about this. I got a tap and ran throug it. I saw some of those thread chasers but they were only for 14 and 18 mm threads. So I ended up getting the tap. It was not hard at all and not much cuttings were out. I am guessing only one thread in the middle was messed up. It would go half way in with no problem. I put it back together and all is good.

I just gotta finish running my fuel line from moving my fuel pump.
Thanks guys I appreciate this alot.
