Nope you need to pressure test it and spray the plug with soapy water first. Lot of people dont and think they fixed it
!
I can do that too. All part of the learning process.

I learned let a machinist do it!I can do that too. All part of the learning process.
Crooked. Didn't seal. Didn't have to test it, I could hear it.What happened?
What I keep tryin to tell him!Crooked. Didn't seal.
You can hear? I cant! I have to ask if that was thunder?Crooked. Didn't seal. Didn't have to test it, I could hear it.
OK let me know how this goes!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.
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.I will. Might see if I can use the drill press at work.
Oh that too I forgot to tell him good catch.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.

Sounds like you just might be alright.have a vice type jig set up already. Our engineers use it while designing parts.
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.
They get it at almost absolute 0, dead balls on, then tap! You see? It has to be perfect so to speak.they had to learn how to do it somehow.
Sounds like you just might be alright.
I aint stopping you just trying to help carry on.I just want to try it for trying's sake.
I have a 136 cylinder, an MS390, and one other one I could use.
