If you can't get a tap use a dremel and cut three or four diagonal lines
from the base of the plug towards the tip. Clean up the threads and you can
use that to clean up you threads. Do it slowly and back it out after
every 1/2 turn.

Guzziesti,
I have to beg, borrow, or buy a 22X1.25mm tap. It is needed to chase the
threads in the crank pin plug hole on a '67 V700. The factory plug was
seized (after 38 years-not surprising), I had to drill it out. I started
turning in the new plug, it got about 1/2 way, started to stiffen up, I gave
it a little more torque, and...well you know the rest of the sad story. I
now have aluminum galled up in the steel threads. Bummer. So anyone know
where I can lay hands on this metric beast?
Thanks,
Ron Komoroski
