Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Blew out spark plug today

My 25 volt 105 hp Makita air drill gets my plugs in and out in like under 1.9 seconds per cylinder head.

See what I mean...LOL

I'm the one that put these in, too. I don't remember whether or not I used anti-seize either. I know I used it when I replaced the O2 sensors. Would there be residue on the plugs if I did use it?

Man, if I didn't...what an expensive mistake! I've learned alot here and have saved some money doing some DIY repairs/upgrades. Hopefully someone will take notice here and not repeat my (possible) mistake.

the plug hole can be fixed with the head on. i did my f150 5.4. the kit costs $130 but local machine shops charge $100 to repair 1 hole. this is for the f150 which i assume is harder to get to. if you have it repaired at a shop dont use a heli coil. it wont last and wont seal. use an insert. timesert makes a kit for the ford engines. http://www.timesert.com/sprksert.html
oh by the way its a common problem with the triton 5.4 and v10's blowing plugs.
