Spark plug inserts
I'm just in the process of inserting my spark plugs and noticed several do not seat well. After several last turns they seem to grab, but I'm not sure they are fully seated. Should I keep turning until I reach the specified torque or call it good where they are? Perhaps this is normal with a rebuilt engine? I'm a little afraid to torque these to the specified amount, but perhaps I need to?
(Side note: I switched from Bosch to NGK. Perhaps the Bosch plugs are slightly larger?)
Thanks for your responses in advance.

Extra credit: If TimeSerts were ever required for the spark plugs, is there a kit and sleeve size folks would recommend and has anyone ever done this without pulling the heads?
