looks like you've got this covered Dave....to be honest I wouldn't be too bothered about the first couple of threads as long as there aren't any burrs to damage the injector insert going into the manifold should be ok...

I agree. Seems like you've fixed the worst of it.
As I said before you can use any 1.5mm pitch metric tap, for example a 12mm, as a scraper to restore the thread form.Comment

Thanks to all who replied. I was just mad that I hadn't noticed the thread problem until I was installing the 5th new insert and that the deformed threads ate two of the plastic threads off the insert before I clued in. Fortunately, I had ordered 10 inserts (5 each from 2 different sources) and didn't have to use the damaged insert. I will keep it and the remaining 4 for future projects (ha).
The intake is back on the car with a new intake gasket. Should get it finished tomorrow.
