Re: Expedition Spark Plug Ejection

Usa tools on ebay sells an OTC repair kit. Pull the plug drill it out tap and install insert. 14 inserts in the kit. Otc makes ford specialty tools. The kit has a vacuum attachment for removing metal shavings. Cost $89.00 plus shipping probably double that on a tool truck. I purchased a Torx Plus set from him for $50.00 mfg. by OTC. I ordered on the weekend and they were shipped UPS on monday. He had to order the TR55 and TR60 and they were shipped from OTC. in Minn. He is located in Ohio.
The kit is designed for a 5.4l. By the time you pull the head and fix it I would buy the kit cheaper than gaskets.
I've always had good success with OTC Tools.

Thumbs up Re: Expedition Spark Plug Ejection

I own a 2000 F250 V10 super duty and I used a kit by Time-Sert to repair my spark plug it was a little time consuming because I had never done something like this before but it worked EXCELLENT! My truck is running smooth I am so thank full I could repair this without removing the head which would have taken a ton of time on a lifted V10.

This is the kit I used called ford kit check out the repair video its helps understand the process.

Re: Expedition Spark Plug Ejection

manifolds curl up like old 454 manifolds used to. Fortunately, they snap off the studs instead of pulling them out.thread insert helicoil
