Might want to do what you can to make sure the first threads in the ram arent so messed up they ruin your new piece as you thread it in. To check that, I'd grind down the nut on the good side of your messed up fitting (if there is one) so its lower than the threads and wont get in the way.........then feed that baby in as far as you can go, pull it out and check the threads.
