Thread chaser for oil screen housing?
El Reno aviation sells the F&M oil filter stc has a chaser.
Maybe they would rent it to you.

Looks like my threads are hosed up where the oil screen screws in on the
back case of my (Continental) A-65. Heard it mentioned on a Swift
bulletin board that there is such a thing as a thread chaser to (I assume)
re-work the threads a bit and/or to clean them out to prevent damage to
the brass threads on the screen. Where would a guy find one of these
beasties? It's pretty big, ya know...something like an inch and a half or
maybe even bigger...
I grounded until I can get that fixed!! I don't relish the thought of
removing the engine and then taking off the back case for re-work or
replacement (they are probably scarce as hen's teeth)...
