Subject: Oil drain plug

I had a real hassle removing the drain plug from the 2.1 I finally got it
off and was going to install the new replacement when I noticed that the
replacement ( M14 -1.50  oil tite #65215 from Advanced Auto Parts) is
about
1/2 maybe a little more longer than the buggered up one I removed. Will
this
extra lenght pose any problems in the motor? I dont know the tolerances or
clearances involved in the internals and cant find an y info on it. Should
I
grind off the extra length or should it do ok because there is enough
room?
Thanks,

A J
