3. Contenuto della confezione

The Sealey MS003 package includes the following item:

• 1 x Sealey MS003 Reverse Action Spark Plug Thread Chaser (14mm)

4. Impostazione e preparazione

Before using the thread chaser, ensure the spark plug hole is accessible and clear of any major obstructions. It is recommended to clean the area around the spark plug hole to prevent debris from entering the combustion chamber.

1. Preparazione del motore: Ensure the engine is completely cool. Remove the spark plug from the damaged thread.
2. Lubrificazione: Apply a small amount of cutting oil or grease to the threads of the chaser. This will aid in cutting, reduce friction, and help collect metal shavings.
3. Tool Orientation: The unique design of the MS003 allows it to be inserted through the damaged thread and then expanded to engage the undamaged threads deeper within the combustion chamber.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

Follow these steps carefully to repair damaged spark plug threads:

1. Insert the Chaser: Gently insert the threaded end of the MS003 tool into the spark plug hole. Push it through the damaged section of the thread until the expandable part is past the damaged area and engages with the undamaged threads deeper inside the combustion chamber.
2. Expand the Chaser: Once positioned, turn the tool's handle or hex head (usually with a wrench) in the appropriate direction to expand the chaser's threads. This action locks the chaser into the good threads.
3. Chase the Thread: Slowly and carefully rotate the tool counter-clockwise (or as indicated by the tool's design for reverse action) to cut new threads or clean existing ones as it is withdrawn. Apply steady, even pressure.
4. Rimozione detriti: Periodically withdraw the tool slightly to clear any metal shavings. Reapply cutting oil if necessary. Continue this process until the chaser moves smoothly through the entire thread.
5. Remove the Chaser: Once the thread is repaired, retract the expandable part of the chaser and carefully remove the tool from the spark plug hole.
6. Pulisci il buco: Use compressed air or a vacuum to thoroughly clean the spark plug hole and combustion chamber of any metal debris. It is crucial to remove all shavings to prevent engine damage.
7. Test: Attempt to thread a new spark plug into the repaired hole by hand. It should turn smoothly without resistance. If resistance is felt, repeat the chasing process carefully.

Nota: Always work slowly and avoid excessive force to prevent further damage to the engine block or cylinder head.

6. Manutenzione

• Pulizia: After each use, clean the thread chaser thoroughly with a wire brush and solvent to remove all metal shavings and cutting oil.
• Lubrificazione: Apply a light coat of rust-preventative oil to the threads before storage.
• Magazzinaggio: Store the tool in its original packaging or a protective case in a dry environment to prevent damage and corrosion.
• Ispezione: Periodically inspect the threads of the chaser for wear or damage. A worn chaser may not effectively repair threads and could cause further damage.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues while using the Sealey MS003, consider the following:

• Tool not engaging: Ensure the tool is fully inserted past the damaged threads and that the expandable mechanism is properly activated. Verify the spark plug hole size matches the 14mm chaser.
• Resistance during chasing: Do not force the tool. This could indicate severe thread damage, improper alignment, or insufficient lubrication. Withdraw the tool, clean it, reapply lubricant, and re-attempt slowly.
• Threads still rough after repair: Ensure thorough cleaning of the hole after each pass. You may need to repeat the chasing process one or two more times, applying fresh lubricant each time.
• Metal shavings not clearing: Ensure adequate lubrication is used to help trap shavings. Periodically remove the tool to clean it and the hole.

For persistent issues, consult a professional mechanic or contact Sealey customer support.
