Okay, Well I temporarily solved my problem by cutting the uncoiled part off and grinding the edge down with a dremel tool. I used a new washer and drain plug and turned it back in on the threads that were left. Its been a week now and no leaks. Its good to hear that the insert is only six bucks, I will get one and replace it at the next oil change, then proceed with the qwik value and hopefully never mess with it again.
