    First time posting. I have an 83 midnight Maxim. I recently started switching spark plugs and got them cross threaded and did a number on the holes and threads. The plugs will no longer seat so I have to retap the holes. There are some metal shavings that I’m sure are in there on top of the cylinders. I’m going to pull the heads so I can tap the spark plug holes and keep the metal out of the engine.

    I am pretty sure I’ll have to replace the head gasket. But here’s my problem. Where can I purchase those gaskets? Thanks

    If you contact site vendor Len aka Chacal on info@xj4ever.com he sells the parts you will need.
