. I agree that the stuff on the threads was probably not due to a stripped thread.


It wasn't fun but its done! Make sure when you go to do this job have lots of extra time and be ready for anything!
I might have made a mistake in my wording, I'm not sure if the threads were stripped but there was definitely something weird about them! I pulled the plugs when the engine was still warm and either that plug was replaced by the first owner or it was messed up from the factory. I don't see how I could have avoided it!

I ran into the same problem. It appears the threads were not cut well from the factory in addition to lack of anti seize compound. I ran a tap down all of the GP holes including the one with damaged threads and have no problems. I purchased some anti seize compound and coated the new metal GPs before inserting them into the head. I hope the anti seize compound will help remove them in the future.
