Hi,
I am trying to repair a badly crossed thread in a CB200 spark plug hole, ( not done by me ) and I have read on an earlier thread that it is possible to do without removing the head by using the Vorlux plug thread repair kit and plenty of grease to catch the swarf. My question is whether the old thread will need to be drilled out or will the tap supplied in the kit cope with removing the old thread whilst it is forming the new larger diameter thread.
The previous thread I read was for a repair on a plug that had blown out so I presume the thread had stripped out too leaving a clean hole. Has anyone used one of these kits and what was the outcome. Any help much appreciated.
Regards,
Glyn.
