We ground down a socket a few times bu= t they have tended to just break out.

I screwed old plugs in, to protect the threads & keep the trash out, and ground off the eyebrows using an angle grinder.

Anyone ever seen the 'why' of the eyebrows being cast on the housings? I was a little uncomfortable removing them without knowing their original purpose.

Steve,

I chose to counterbore the spark plug holes to accept an unmodified socket.=C2=A0 A tool was made by installing a cutting bi= t into an old lug nut machined to fit the original hole as a guide.

Hi Guys

I=E2=80=99m using the NGK Iridium BR10EIX and had ground do= wn a socket, but it broke.
Have others:
1. Ground of the eyebrows?
2. Found a socket that=E2=80=99s perhaps forged instead of = cast?

Whats the wisdom?

Thanks people.

Steve Izett
