Steve,

I chose to counterbore the spark plug holes to accept an unmodified socket.  A tool was made by installing a cutting bit into an old lug nut machined to fit the original hole as a guide.

Hi Guys

I’m using the NGK Iridium BR10EIX and had ground down a socket, but it broke.
Have others:
1. Ground of the eyebrows?
2. Found a socket that’s perhaps forged instead of cast?

Whats the wisdom?

Thanks people.

Steve Izett
