It looks like that article addresses the later 3V motors and the dreaded broken plugs they sometimes experienced, not the early 2V heads with only 4 plug threads that occasionally eject plugs.

Timesert, CalVan, Snap-On, and Lock'n'Stitch are all proven to be one time permanent repairs. Those are the ones that come to mind off the top of my head.
FWIW, you STILL have not identified the year of your engine. Yes, it matters.

The OD, ID, and length OA are the same for both inserts.

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME HERE
I am not really all that familiar or understand what is going on here so if someone could take my hand and point...
The 3V engines had the problem of OEM plug removal and the 2V (as being discussed here) had the problem of plug ejection due to the spark plug threads being too short, correct?
