It was a HD plug, but I know it wasn’t the plugs fault... gotta blame this one on the man with the ratchet in his hand.

Hopefully you didn't use the silver anti-seize. It's not good for aluminium. It can cause the threads to rip out. There was a time when I didn't know this and I've had to install steel thread inserts in both heads on my Shovel.

I know I’m getting old and never owned a shovel but when did shovels have aluminum heads?

I've been using silver anti-seize on spark plugs for years now with no problems.

What problems were you having?
