Glad your doing it, I was almost ready to but something told me to hold off.
The short thread length going into the head has me concerned.

I sent one yesterday, so I guess I shouldn't hold my breath.
Doesn't say much for their customer service.
Tried to call them twice this am after 9am, phone went beep beep beep and then disconnected. Not a good thing.......

I ordered one this morning, figure if it does the trick great, saves me from pulling the heads until I'm ready for a major upgrade.

I heard back from Lee at Wimmer yesterday. He said they have sold a bunch of them with no issues reported, the standard plug washer is removed and the plug is a bit recessed, but they have not seen as problems related to the depth.

Did the CR arrive? If so, what's the measurement difference of the exposed threads on the CR equipped plug compared to the other plug??

I wouldn't want to change to a non-HD Spark Plug. Also, I wouldn't recommend drilling the head in place. Too much of a chance of getting metal filings into the engine.
$150.00 for the Wimmer seems high and would probably more than cover the cost of doing the install the right way. $25.00 for a manual CR and I don't believe it would take much more than an hour of labour to remove, drill, tap and reinstall the rear cylinder head.

Not yet, ordering turned out to be a bit of a hassle as they are not really setup as an online vendor; I ended going old school by picking up the phone and placing the order, should be here next week.
