I will replace crush ring and upgrade to LN mag plug at next oil change if all goes well during the next 3000 miles

Cheers!

Well if you don't see a pool of oil under the car by late spring then I would think the old ring is ok. I bought 2 LN plugs and a new factory plus 10 rings as JIC stock. Did you get the bit out ok?

No; I haven't attempted it; it is still on the drain plug
