It appears that Al's assessment may be correct that particularly because of the apparent orientation of the electrode when I screw it into the hole ending up such that the apex hit the curved back part rather than the end pointed toward the center electrode. It appears the apex seal did bounce over that curve part for a while and either the apex seals finally gave way or the springs under them did. Perhaps Lynn would know if its possible to break the springs while leaving the seal intact.

Could the seals be bent to the point they no longer can more freely in the grooves?
