[QUOTE="Arcola, post: 3043808, member: 122418"] Even if you are able to clean up those threads, I think you’re going to reduce your bearing surface to the point I wouldn’t trust it. This is where I would enlist the help of a qualified GS or machinists. Get a quote and see if the cost is justifiable. If you do try to re-thread, I would make an extension and start chasing threads from the chamber side. There is no way your new threads will line up with the threads that are in tact if you start your tap on the damaged threads. [/QUOTE]
