Default glow plug thread form

When the threads are this fine they become very shallow in depth. Make sure your drilled hole is not at all oversize. Also make sure the tap is aligned with the hole for the entire tapping operation and a good TAPPING lubricant is used. Kerosene works well with aluminum if you don't have any commercial tap lube.

Good luck.
