Why the Back-Tap Design is Superior: Standard thread taps push metal shavings, carbon, and dirt downward directly into your engine's combustion chamber. The patented Back-Tap works in reverse:
1. Inside-Out Repair: The collapsible mandrel head inserts straight through the spark plug port into the cylinder.
2. Uses Clean Base Threads: It expands inside the chamber to catch the undamaged, clean threads at the very bottom of the port.
3. Pulls Debris OUT: As you wrench it counterclockwise outward, it re-aligns and cleans the stripped upper threads while drawing all metal filings out of the engine.
Key Features & Specifications:
- Perfect Fit: Specifically designed for standard 14mm spark plug threads.
- Deep Reach: Features a 6" overall length making it perfect for deep-well spark plug configurations.
- Easy to Use: Can be driven safely with a standard 1/2" wrench or socket.
- No Head Removal: Fixes stripped threads without the extensive work of pulling the cylinder head off
