Need to know if the threads in the head have been damages by the plug blowout and what was done to fix it.
Need to know if the COP and boot are damaged.
No you cannot put a plug in to deep if the correct plug was used.
Reason is the plug seals on a taper in the head. The plug cannot go any further down into the cylinder beyond the taper seal point..
Seems better workmanship is needed and a bit more contol in driving is in order.
