Not necessary.

Although not necessary, many machine shops use a drop on the main and rod caps as "insurance".

What is kill thread?

A thread is an execution path through a program, initiated as an asychronous process. Killing a thread means to stop its execution. Usually, this is not a good idea. A thread should stop its own execution, either because it has completed its work, or because it was told to do so, perhaps with a shared semaphore. If you kill the thread externally, the thread stops and does not get a chance to clean things up, such as closing files and making objects consistent.
