It sounds like you've got a pretty good engine there- - - -even #5 is within limits for pressure leakage, and that one should improve with enough run time for the rings to seat to the cylinder walls better. Do a good tuneup, and "drive it like you stole it!' These old engines are tough as a two dollar steak, and the more you work them the better they like it.
Otto- - - -once the porcelain is removed, the plug shell is threaded with a 1/4" NPT tap. Install the quick connect with some pipe dope or teflon tape to prevent leakage.
