I have had some leak after installation without some kind of sealer, and then had to go get another plug because removal distorts the plug. So now I use the Indian Head shellac or Permatex #2 on them to avoid that possible scenario.

Yes, that's exactly what happened. It came out easy enough with small flat punch. I sanded the hole smooth and pushed the new one in and it leaks a bit. Not a big deal.

As i had to drop the exhaust manifold to get to it and i did not have a replacement gasket, I'll be revisiting this whole thing as soon as the new gasket arrives.
