As I understand it, if you put on both the spark plug washer and the 

ring for the CHT, there will be exposed threads at the bottom of the 

tapped hole for the plug. If anyone ever puts in a plug without both, 

the threads on the plug will hit the now carboned up threads in the 

tapped hole. You can end up stripping out the tapped hole in the head, 

or dump loose carbon chunks into the cylinder, neither of which is a 

good thing. In addition, you reduce the heat lost to the head by the 

plug, as there is less surface area in contact with the head, giving you 

a hotter running plug with the strong possibility of detonation. Again, 

not a good thing.
