Re: Well...this ain't good
Blew a plug out of my Harley in North Platte Nebraska. Went to Harley dealer and got song and dance about disassembling machine shop etc. I asked who the machine shop was? Got the plug tightened enough to get there and and like a half hour and 50 dollars I was on the road again. Maybe it was less than 50 but it was not much time. We greased the tap for the helicoil to not let any chips fall. Ran quite a few miles on that.
Electrolysis between the steel plug and aluminum causes the threads to strip when you remove the plug if you do not use anti seize.
