I need to do plugs in an 05 v10 and an 06 v8, so I'm dealing with factory 2 piece plugs.

The last time I did plugs on an 05, I used replacement motorcraft 2 piece plugs over the 1 piece champions. Are there any other options on the market these days?

As for removing broken plugs, I already have the lisle tool, and I'm going to pick up this:
Great deal on OTC Tools - 6918 at ToolTopia.com

I'll also be doing new spark plug boots.
And is there a high-temp never seize that's recommended for the install?

Thanks

 

I use a nickel-based anti-seize, Permetex #77124. None of my local retailers had it so I went with Amazon, 8 oz container.

I KNOW many will advise against it but its been failure proof for me but I also torque my 2V head plugs to 21-23 ft/lbs, also never an issue.

 

Yea that's what I used on the last truck I did, seemed to work good. I couldn't not put any on, after seeing what came out.


So no new spark plugs? I guess I'm just gonna go with the regular motorcraft plugs.
