A few miscues along the way however, the engine is awaiting a very sluggish starter to be overhauled. Should be Thursday with hopes to light this candle sometime Friday AM.
Question has come up though regarding a somewhat "tentative" spark plug thread on #8. The tech stopped up a bit short after sensing it was about to strip the threads. Was afraid to go much further though he did say the other 7 seemed fine. Suggestions?....red locktite....?
What's more likely bad plug threads or head threads. Seems the plug would be less likely to have bogus threads. It hasn't been a problem in the numerous times the plugs have been in and out over the past three years.
