In an aside to the thread about spraying brake cleaner to clean the spark plug threads.
A vacuum cleaner should NOT be used to clean spark plug holes if the plugs are removed. The last thing you want to do (and it might be)is suck fuel vapors into a vacuum cleaner. The motor in the vacuum has brushes than generate very respectable sparks, and the air that is sucked in is used to cool the motor. If you introduce fuel vapors to the cooling air, well........Kaboom. It's happened.
