#2 Spark Plug Won't Seat

Kind of tired of going through the pages of my HG thread so I'm starting a new one.

Got my engine put back together last night. My #2 spark plug is a few threads away from going all the way in where it should be. The threads look good, cleaned them thoroughly, but it gets down to a certain point and just stops.

Any ideas?? I really want to get this thing running!!

I've never had that problem

The other 3 went in just fine. This one has a few threads still visible.

TY MudHippy for posting that. I'll have to go pick one up. Next dumb question, where can I find one?

Autozone. Thanks
