Does the he Tap holder/Guide fit sungly in the Deep Well Spark plug pockets to insure proper cutting angle? any play between may = missalignment?

Good question: there is not much extra space in the pocket, but there is some.;be careful starting the insertion and you won't have a problem. I successfully fixed my F150 using this product.

Hi, I purchased 2 of these, the brass being a big factor vs. stainless. Mine too were "stuck" together - and I separated the screw top from the flame regulator as follows: unscrew the cover and the "stuck" regulator as one piece. Then, by lifting the wire "handle", slide the regulator to the side (open position), place the soon-to-be 2 piece assembly on the floor, (concrete garage floor here), and tap the screw cap, which is now exposed after "opening" the flame regulator to the side, with a large round socket - i used a 15/16" spark plug socket. Voila! Once separated they work great. In my opinion this isn't a "lemon" - it's perfect machining and assembly which fit together with almost .005" precision. Hope that helped. As I mentioned, I bought 2 of these and had to separate both of them that way.

This set is a mix of metric (18 mm and 14 mm) and SAE (5/8", 3/4" and 13/16"). The 13/16" might be close, but there's no guarantee (and you could end up with a burred spark plug).

I can only assume your alignment issue accrues when your using the guide fence. I do not use my hand plainer ( yet) with this attachment. but now you have me curious. if the tool company (s) are using Amazon to distribute faulty tools, then this review blog is very helpful. I suggest we always be dilatant with the checks and balance systems we are provided to protect us as consumers. but I must say this tool has performed perfect for me...

I've never heard of a g&g; having clockwise threading, which means you should have counter clockwise threading. This should fit easily with no problems. Just remove your flash hider and screw this on. It should be the opposite of what you're used to so lefty tighty, righty loosey

Yes. The hole you drill will be bigger than 6mm. You then put the insert in with the insert tool (looks a little bit like a tap - the second item from the top in the photo). This causes the insert to expand and lock into the tapped hole. You'll notice that if you put your 6mm bolt into the insert before you install it, it will be tight and won't thread all the way. Once you've used the tool to install the insert into your drilled and tapped hole, however, everything will fit perfectly. I used this kit to repair the cylinder bolt hole on my 2002 Honda Shadow.

I have a standard height/low profile gas block paired with a YHM flattop upper receiver and the alignment is perfect. I don't think you have anything to worry about if you go with Troy or MI sight pairs: there're the best! I really like the HK sights, very accurate n my AR. I purchases a lower cost return and am very glad I saved 20 bucks!

With some models of plugs, you have to file or cut a bevel on the longs edges to get them to fully insert. Not too hard to do (use caution if trimming edge with knife of course).

I found it a very tricky process as it is in a hood over a range. The angle is very awkward. Try wearing rubber gloves and using a gentle pushing and turning maneuver. If you can get one out look at the holes with a flashlight and you can see the Weird configuration you are dealing with. Good luck!

Not a dedicated drill holder. I installed a belt clip on my impact driver and the "tape measurer" clip on the belt makes a perfect drill holder. Rubbish at holding a measuring tape though.

I never had to drill. my stock had removable plug I'm guessing 3/16. To match bit get one the size matching the core of screw not including the thickness of threads. Better to get smaller hole than the because threads will fit tight. If you were to drill larger than needed place a tooth pick with wood glue only on tooth pick. then screw the take a screw in place removing any excess glue.

Yes it does allow for a standard socket set to fit onto it. It's mainly designed for Spark plug threads. It first cleans out existing industry standard spark plug width 1/2" thread, then a 5/8 " bore is created when you turn the tap further into the head. This allows for the heli coil to thread in and then the spark plug fits into the 1/2" heli coil. I used it on an aluminum head so I had no trouble Can't say what it would be like with iron head.

Do you have angle or straight spark plugs and do you have clear center motor mount let me know. Thank you Mark.

Have a DPMS flatop and low profile gas block. Though I run a Piston. They have to be slid on from the end they fit snug. The lined up perfect with my 40mm red dot in between. When down they do not interfere with the Red dot. I don't think the Gas block would generate enough heat to melt these.

Others have said that these plugs come pre-gapped, and that is NOT correct. Yes, there is a gap, and if one considers that "pre-gapped," then I suppose they are "pre-gapped" in a manner of speaking. However, it's not as if they come custom-gapped to order, and if the gap is not correct for your bike, you will have to gap the plugs to your bike's required specs. Do NOT use an old-fashioned coin-type gapper. As noted, the electrode tip is very small and fragile, and it can be broken easily, so you will need to gap them very carefully with a wire-type gapper. It's not difficult, but you do have to be careful. If you need help, there are videos all over the Internet. All that said, I do HIGHLY recommend these plugs. My FLSTC runs significantly better with them, and they have also improved my gas mileage by 15-20 percent. I will never buy another spark plug--and I will continue to gap each one carefully to my bike's specs.

I'm sorry I forget what exact socket I used but the spark plug is longer then a standard spark plug so you would need a deep socket. I a 263 piece craftsman mechanic set and I had the socket that fit.

Yes u don't gap this style of plug in reality you shouldn't be messing with the gap of most factory spark plugs after the mid 90's as marks on platinum or iridium distort the spark path enough to cut the life of the plug by 75% and factory oe plugs are pregapped
