I agree that the Park cutting tools are marginal but are also serviceable in the right hands. Still it is not likely that they cut an OS diameter or thread profile unless a few things went wrong, starting with the hands holding them. Did the Bb cups strip/jump a thread during install? I have found plumbers tape to be a false solution as it's going to continue to mush about with stress. (On a tapered thread this isn't the case with complete tightening, as it's intention of use is designed around).


As to the click- We need more info to even try to suggest more. But the first thing to try is different pedals. Then lube the ring bolts. The BB's condition is also in play here. There are many threads about these issues so searching the archives might bring some light. Andy.
