Absolutely amazing tool. I checked the threads to make sure they were the same, and they are.

It slipped right into the GP hole and I flared the threads so they would engage in the head correctly down on the good threads at the bottom of the cylinder head wall. Then I just backed out the tool and continued to make sure the threads were flared on the tool as I backed it out. Once the threads on the head were clean and aligned, the new GP threaded in perfectly.

Best $45 I ever spent!

Anybody want to rent it :D
