Thanks, Jim. Yeah, the spark plug socket I've been using doesn't have the rubber insert, so the plug "drops" in if I just use it. So, I've been starting the plug with the rubber hose, which now I realize wasn't ideal (doesn't insure a straight shot into the hole).
I'll buy a new socket today. That should help, but I'd like to make sure the threads are good first.
Did I read earlier somewhere here that our aluminum heads have Helicoil-like inserts (from the factory)?
