I can't get the threads to catch and I can't feel any thread at all.
Before I start tearing stuff apart I thought I would see if anyone has any clever tip to fix this. Assuming I pull the manifold and tin and clean out the orange crap, is it OK to use a thread insert here? I swear this motor has some DPO bodge on every part. |

I think a thread insert is the only choice, at least until the motor is rebuilt. Either a coil or a Time-sert would work. It may affect the reading ability of the CHT sensor a little. On a rebuild, swap heads and drill & tap a new hole; better yet, have a machine shop do it.
