So I own a Hobao hyper ss it uses turbo glow plugs (as much as I know on that) I need to get a new thread for it as it sits in abit wonky and allows tiny amounts of fuel out.
I’ve seen a breakdown of the engine noticed the thread is in a plate between the block and head was wondering is anyone can help me with the size thread I need and offer any knowledge of changing them thank you (been putting it to the side for a while need to get her out and give her a rip)
 
if gp is wobbly in the threaded hole then it needs to be reduced in size.id unbolt the head and use a center punch to reduce the hole diameter. also might need a chunk of harden steel as a anvil...
 
At this point buy a new one. The best result will come from filling the hole (welding), drilling, and tapping out new threads. This is a lot of time and effort on a relatively inexpensive part.

And i believe the part you are referring to is the cylinder head button.

Buy a new one meaning that middle plate? But yeah I don’t wanna repair any parts just replace them fully
