thats actually a factory test, you put air into the spark plug hole and look in the radiator

I have all the tools, been in this buisness for too long, just never tried to tap the hole on a rotary. I'm just wondering the consequences of some shavings getting in. In a piston engine, it really don't matter that much, plus it's easy to get out

Well it took 2.5 hours to get the tap to go in straight, but once I lined it up, it went right in. I used alot of grease on the tap each time I passed it into the hole, so most of the shavings came out, cranked it a few times, put some anti-sieze on the plug, plug went in fine, car starts, car runs
