[MDairheads] Exhaust Port Thread Question

[Mike Cecchini]

Just remember Kev.........thread file moves metal back to where it belongs. 
Re-threading die removes metal.

You want to keep all the metal possible for thread strength.

I used the pipe collar to tell me when the treads were good.  Going around and 
around with the thread file worked wonders.

Thanks everybody for the advice, recommendations and Randy Long's POC.

Took a look on YouTube and chasing threads with a thread file looks well within 
my comfort level.  Found what looks to be a decent metric thread file and a 52 x 
2.0 rethreading die on eBay that won't break the bank.  Plan is to clean the bad 
thread(s) with the file and then make a pass with the die to ensure things are 
clean and uniform.

Randy will be the fallback option in case I make a mess of things.
