They are specificly desiegned for spark plug threads. And yes grease or a cutting compound paste will stop any debris falling in. Its most likley only carbon build up. Other thing you can do is put compressed air in through otger plug hole to blow crud out, make sure inlet valve is closed. http://www.acehardwaresuperstore.com/kd-tools-spark-plug-opening-thread-chaser-p-66841.html?ref=42   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/03/20 18:40 By Aussie B.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #175765 Bean_Machine (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 167 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.   Logged     Bean Machine 2001 Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #175783 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..

I've been twisting wrenches for 45+ years and that stuff is great for the longevity of any dissimilar metals protection ie steel threads on the plug vs aluminum threads in the head.----jack   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #175867 Bean_Machine (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 167 Re:spark plug came out tough won't go back right 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Well it was 2330 hours and I got it all back together. I put the key on and it pumped up and started right up. I guess I got it all back right. Here is a pic of the bike now all i gotta do is figure out how to mount the choke cable now.   Logged     Bean Machine 2001 Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #175869 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:spark plug came out tough won't go back right 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Glad to hear it worked out for you.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #175872 deanjenn (User) Live 2 Ride - Ride 2 Live Gold Boarder Posts: 615 Re:spark plug came out tough won't go back right 2 Years, 10 Months ago   I use anti-sieze on the tap when that happens, that stuff is awesome. It helps when you tap new threads also. I use it on just about all bolts when I'm putting something together.
