BTW - what does freezing PBB do?

I got a small wire brush and sprayed it with PB blaster to clean off the gunk on the threads.
I have no idea actually why it went back in so easily. In fact the little guy went right in without any hesitation.
I ran my engine up to operating temperature and then used the cold PB blaster to cause the metal to slightly shrink back in against the hot engine. I have no idea if this worked, but i got it out so i don't care
@Layback, yeah living in the Northeast sucks. I wish I could go to your land down under with my 300D. There were a ton of mornings where the engine was struggling to start from out of spec valves. I'm guessing this is part of the reason it was hard to get out.
