Lol! nice one!

My mate shat his load when I cranked his cage up after the same trick, that was Duck oil penetrant spray too, bit more volatile

You reckon? - its definately not threaded - have maybe done 10 turns easy...but is starts to...errrr...creak, I think is the best way of describing the noise....as I turn the plug in - there is resistance, but not that much - strangely enough, if I kep turning its ok, but if I stop, then start, the initial resistance is much higher...

That could well just be corrosion left from the old plug, after 10 turns you would have to be a real gorrilla to bugger the threads.

Vanish? they nearly needed the fire brigade, he was stood right next to the exhaust! teehee

you reckon it could be ok to exert a bit of force then? Obviously so worried about stripping the threads, but my common sense tells me that so much thread is already engaged, that it is unlikely.

The plug I took out was not in the best of nick (thread wise) so I think you could be right.

A bit more force, obviously don't stick a cracking bar on it, but you can use more than the weight of your arm, you could even be feeling the washer beginning to crush.

Aye, you could be right - just comparing the force when I changed the plug on the rear - that went in dead easy (obviously no road crud in there!)

Just dont want to hurt the old girl!

you done the TPS mod then?

Mines black and curvey, next is to cut the middle of the air filter out and increase the jet size.

(See, jets, nice brass things, fluid mechanics, none of this electrical jiggerypokery )
