I tried and tried to get him to understand that the plug was actually a little tighter than an OEM plug, but he never seemed to get the drift.
Bringing this up again for what reason? You admitted that the plug was fudged up and others saw it that way as well. It would go in but VERY toughly.
Even though you did tighten up the headspace a bit, it wasnt no where near enough to seal off the blow by from the primer. My firing pin bushing is backed out .016" A LOT more than what you adjusted your plug for.
That angers me Ron that you still carry on with this. I know you said you dont mind it being dirty, but you sure did shim up your V2 and back the firing pin bushing out .020" !!
