Took me 10 years to stop fighting torque specs on aluminum threads
After I snapped a third intake bolt on a Subaru last June and the shop foreman just shook his head and said 'you ever heard of a thread chaser, mate,' I finally bought a decent one and now I never touch a dirty or old thread with a tap, that's what changed my whole approach, anyone else still learning that taps cut metal but chasers just clean it?

Took you 10 years to figure out a thread chaser? What's the foreman say now?
