It's called a threaded insert, used to repair a SP hole that has been 
stripped. I consider these to be a cheap fix that I really don't like. I 
much prefer a Heli-coil, but those take more care and skill to 
install. The heat flow thru a threaded insert is grossly different from 
normal, so I would expect that plug to run hot.
