From the picture that you posted it looks as though it is cross-threaded. I changed the spark plug on my second Lotus and I threaded it in by hand, but when I tried to tighten up the plug with a wrench I felt that something was not right. Yup, you guess it I cross threaded the spark plug hole. Lucky for me I had a spare head that I install to fix the problem that I created.
