okay, but chasing dirty threads with a tap is kind of like using a machete to remove a splinter, you can do it, but you can do more damage than good. If he’s just cleaning debris, wd40 and a head bolt is effective without being dangerous

I guess the point is that Mini needed an answer and I wonder why he’s asking the question.
