Too much misinformation going on around here, had to clear up that "3 threads" thing.
Too many people saying '02 or '01 or '00 or '03 or '04 that they changed something. I have YET TO SEE ANY CONCLUSIVE PROOF of any changes to the spark plug holes.
If it's a PI vs. non-PI thing, I'd love to see pictures...

www.fulltorque.com these are hardened anodized aluminum to keep the same heat transfer as the stock head.
the companys web site and product make a lot of sence . along with the fact these are what i use for alloy head repairs and have never ahd a problem while i have had timesert come back out of alloy but never iron.
when doing a insert repair the heat transfer of the plug is a major thing to look at as the steel insert changes that slightly.
