	There is also the possibility that the aluminum threads are buggered  
or filled with carbon too. Running the proper size tap through all  
the holes should set things right. Aluminum also galls very easily,  
you probably didn't help matters too much by trying to force the new  
GPs in. They should thread most of the way in with little resistance,  
such that you should be able to do it with your fingers.
	Whatever you decide to do, spin the engine over quite a few times  
with the GPs out, so it can spit out anything that breaks loose and  
falls in.
