In 1973 I rebuilt my VW motor and put in Champion plugs as per
Champion's reference chart. It was a full rebuild including
taking the heads to a machine shop sans the original Bosch
spark plugs. Six months later I do a tune up on the VW and the
first plug feels odd coming out. Lo and behold the darn
Champion plug has two extra threads and those two extra
threads extended down into the combustion chamber. It was
sickening pulling out those "reaming" plugs knowing I'd have to
pull the heads, go to a machine shop and put heli-coils in those
aluminum heads. Have not knowingly bought a Champion plug
since January 1974.
