Random thought just occurred to me and thought I would post it here. I don't know if I've ever read this in any of the spark plug DIY threads but would it be recommended to use a thread chaser to clean out the socket where the spark plug is installed or does using a thread chaser run the risk of pushing dirt or contaminants down inside. My thinking is that given the risk of spark plugs seizing that running a thread chaser in and out of the socket could help eliminate potential dirt, contaminants, oxidation, etc. that would thereby reduce the risk of spark plugs becoming stuck or difficult to remove years later.
