It must be the interference fit in the block which helps keep water from wicking thru the threaded portion. It is interesting that no one at Max's knew about the rolled threads though.

I wonder if anyone ever accidentally switched the other way and if the early ones thread hard or exhibit something different in late engines. When Max's are ordered or installed, I would be interested to know how the threads compare to originals and how easy they thread in compared to the rolled.

Don't plan on ever being involved with another engine but a nosy mind with nothing better to do at the moment is curious.
