Mike,
I appreciate the photo...
This illustrates why I thought the old plug adapter design was so faulty.
The old plug adapter used a cut off plug and as you are now well aware, if that piece becomes stuck, it is a bear to get out of the engine.
The RR design solves that issue.
Again, good illustration of what NOT to do...
Good job be patient enough to get it out without turning the proper into a boat anchor.
Best,
Best,

This is why I always coat the threads and seat with anti-seize.
