<RE: Plug repair - pray tell, what do you feel happens to the "filings"

This is a needless worry. Soft aluminum filings are unlikely to scratch 
hard cylinder liners or hardened valve faces. Following the repair, 
start the engine with the one plug missing and everything will be 
immediately blasted out at high velocity. The stuff may even blast some 
carbon loose.
