There is a smaller oversize kit
it depends on your hole
If exhaust ate it out, you can need larger
id inspect hole threads with borescope, and measure insert, and pick smaller kit that might work first, so have one more shot with larger if mess up. (Another $400 is still cheaper than pulling head at that point.)
Or. .. .pay someone

What I would do is, pull that Dorman fix out.... if you can. With a bore scope, inspect the threads. If they don't look bad, thread lock that SOB and give it another go. I've seen people stick them in without thread lock and experience what you are. This is also common symptom on heli-coil fixes.

Blow spark plug
So, I was driving down the highway and the spark plug completely blew out. I was told to get a Cylinder Head Repair Kit and use that. Tried it, now it sounds like air is coming from that spark plug. Before I go and put it in the shop, any ideas of what it would take to repair it? I have a feeling that it's going to take a good chunk of change to fix.
