#2 spark plug hole screwed

[amalventano@sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

1. rotate the crank such that the piston of the cylinder you are threading
is at top dead center.
2. metal shavings (especially oily ones) stick to q-tips like velcro. tape a
couple to either ends of a straw and swipe the hole/piston face, rotating
the straw. do this occasionally to clean up the metal bits.
hth, and good luck.
