I noticed that number one spark plug was bubbling out a bit of fuel?, i took plug out checked washer on plug, put back in and same thing, Then i took plug out and wrapped threads with some pipe thread and now everyting is ok. What could be going on here??? Thanks, Jim

Before i would keli coil it.. I'd look for a spark plug thread repair kit.. or have it drilled and rethreaded for a larger plug.. or use a set of anti foul adapters and see if you can get them to seal.

Have you tried a new plug?

Sounds like the threads in the head are getting worn out.
You can have a Heli-Coil put in the head and it will be better than new.

They are a stainless steel thread insert.
The original spark plug hole is drilled out larger and then threaded. The Helicoil is then threaded into the new spark plug hole. You can get them at NAPA.
If you are not sure about doing the job yourself NAPA machine shops will do it or check your area for engine machine shops.

Just a thought. If you take the head to the shop it would be a good time for the valves to be reseated and have the guides checked.
I had NAPA reseat the valves and replace two valve guides and all the valve springs and machine the head surface for under $200.00.
