Nicely done.

Steel into aluminum is always a "proceed with caution". I imagine Greddy doesn't do it this way simply for cost and time.

A bigger picture an engineer may look at is that Steel and aluminum don't mix when it comes to galvanic corrosion. I doubt Greddy looked into it this far.

You put loctite on the threads, so that should offer some separation from the two different metals.

The steel plug going into aluminum would have been the same, but at least they are coated in oil all the time.

Classic case of over torque at dealership.
