PS

Check on your size of insert. If the length of your insert is too long, it
will not lock in. The insert locks in place by the last couple of threads
and if your insert is too long, it will not lock. Make sure your insert is
the length of your oil plug. (you are using 14 X 1.5MM?) Another issue is
the countersink. Make sure your coutersink is flush! I don't think you have
done any damage....just make sure you are using the correct length insert
and your countersink is flush. Loctite is optional and not needed.
