I can sell y'all an aluminium magnet, $500 bucks plus freight, you can hire them out to other workshops and make your money back really fast.

on second thought, i'll just leave well enough alone and not run the tap thru it--don't want shavings down there, and it seemed to tighten up nice

looking in the manual it says that the spark plugs are to be inspected at the 1000 service, which i had Harley perform. If Harley inspected them per manual, and re-install with anti-seize (per manual) could this have happened in 2500 miles?

Probably some pimple face tech proly tightened them to ft lb instead of in lb and no anti-seize.
