Crooked. Didn't seal. Didn't have to test it, I could hear it.
What I keep tryin to tell him!
You can hear? I cant! I have to ask if that was thunder?
Some people learn the hard way I guess, or so my wife keeps telling me.
This is just a hobby for me. So learning something new is just part of it.

OK let me know how this goes!
I will. Might see if I can use the drill press at work.
If the plug hole sits perfectly 180 up when on a flat surface your good if not you need another machine or a jig made up.

You will need to use some kind of sealer when you install the insert in the cylinder. Otherwise pressure can bleed past the insert threads. I used high temp epoxy.
Oh that too I forgot to tell him good catch.

Funny thing is I took it to a machine shop to have it done. They got out their save a thread kit to see if they had an insert or had to order one. I saw that and thought "shoot, I can get one of those". IMO it would be VERY hard to get it perfect, even in a drill press. That said, I'm sure my dense skull will think it's a good idea to try again.
have a vice type jig set up already. Our engineers use it while designing parts.
Sounds like you just might be alright.

they had to learn how to do it somehow.
They get it at almost absolute 0, dead balls on, then tap! You see? It has to be perfect so to speak.
I just want to try it for trying's sake.
I have a 136 cylinder, an MS390, and one other one I could use.
You do know if you F this up we are going to say we told you so right?
I aint stopping you just trying to help carry on.
Lol. Won't be the first time.
I'll end up with a couple cylinders in the recycling pile that were going in there anyway.
