I wasn't going to say any more on this subject, but after reading all the responses and looking at the options, I thought I should state why I decided to have my sensor re-threaded.

I figured this was the lowest risk option. Risk $20 and a sensor to have it re-threaded or risk screwing up the head on my new engine. Sure, I probably would have been successful on modifying the head, but I'd want to practice on a junk head first. Both will work. Both at least appear original. AND, it was less work for me. I'm lazy too!
