"IF you screw the old plug back in with your fingers do you get it to go all the way home?"

NO, it wasn't all the way in, and won't go all the way in either.... :-(

You can see in my photo that the crush ring was never compressed. So there never was a really good seal there. I guess that's why the threads on that plug are brown.

I'll try the thread chaser route, but I dunno if that's gonna work...right now the bottom 1/2 of the hole has the correct thread [albeit caked w/ brown deposits] and the top 1/2 of the hole has the cross-threaded [ or misaligned ] thread...I don't see how the thread chaser will transition from following the misaligned thread section into correct thread without doing further damage...
