Made some progress today. The specific twist on the plug is 12mm x1.25. Trouble is I am having trouble finding the heli coil repair kit for such a size. I don't really get the concept of it though. If I slide the coil over the plug then there is no way it seems like it would fit in the hole...I don't want to tap it bigger and run more risk of additional metal in engine. I found no shavings in filter. My neighbor who is a diesel mechanic said it was not likely that the small amount of shavings could have made it very far on a bike...considering the exhaust blows right out of the head. He determined that the sucking was coming from the plug whole. So throw me some insights on what I just said if you would.
Thanks Blaine for preparing me for the worst. I always prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
