RE: Spark plug thread insert - Use sealant?
Blue Loctite helps lubricate the coil when you put it in and stops it moving later. If you put it in dry, they can curl up as you install - then need pulling out again.
Smack the tang hard when you have the coil in. Don't go gently or you can bend the end up and thus it needs pulling out.
Once 'in' to your satisfaction, they are bullet proof [8D]
