got an 06 f250 fx4,doing plug and coil packs change, got 7 out, #2 cylinder plug broke,(champion plug,nut broke off thread section of plug), easy out nothing,penetrating oil nothing,don't wanna pull head, will lisle tool work for this issue or only if bottom of plug is broke, no clue. Help

 

Have it towed to a dealer. May be quicker and cheaper for you in the end.

 

Took to dealer, supposed to be Einstein of 3 valve issues, after breaking 2 of his extractors he gave up, so now there is something in the head at the bottom, so either I pull and replace head or replace motor, the truck has 232,000 miles

 

That's no good...I've never heard of a dealer who couldn't extract these plugs. They've been out for over a decade now, it's a known issue.

 

Just did my plugs not long ago and I got very lucky. I changed them at 160,000 and the dealer said they looked original and only 1 broke. It had me sweating thinking about it. Also changed all the coils and boy it runs much better.

 

before I changed mine I took a can of rust penetrant and filled the spark plug wells full till it was coming out of the top and let it soak for a couple of hours and when I was ready I took a air hose and blew out the wells and they all came out easy except for 2 of them which required another hour or two soak and they came out with out much problem

 

Did that overnight, and the dealer soak it too, gonna replace motor and probably have the same problem. These motors aren't cheap, sucks

 

Which remans are the best,sticker shock of 3 grand is ok as used motors will probably have the same issues as what I've got now,willing to go reman just not sure who make the best. Thanks

 

Is this the first time they have been changed? If so I wouldn't doubt a problem getting them out. Dealer broke 4 out of 8 of mine at 70k. I went with the newer 1 piece plug and made sure they used the Nickle anti-seize on them.

 

That's why I won't use anything but motorcraft plugs in these engines. Other brands can be a real problem because the extractor tool is not designed to fit universally, it's made for use on oem plugs exclusively. Other brands can be built a bit differently and the champion 1 piece plugs are totally different.

A few years ago I put a set of champions in my son's mustang, as advertised to eliminate the broken plug issue. Besides being ridiculously expensive, it refused to even run correctly. I switched them out with no luck. Then installed motorcrafts and it ran perfect again. After later reading about issues with the champions snapping off and the extractor not being able to remove them, I'm kinda glad they didn't work.

 

Why would you replace the engine just because you have a stuck spark plug?

Have the head pulled, spark plug removed, reinstall head, maybe take the opportunity to replace the timing chains and drive on.

 

OP stated 232,00 miles on the truck.
I would look at cost to replace engine vs cost to repair head.
What is the condition of the rest of the truck.
Is it worth installing a re manufactured engine.
What is cash value of the truck as is and when repaired.
How long do I intend to use the truck.
The above are just a few questions I would be asking myself prior to making the decision.

 

I'd replace the timing chains due to mileage, but I still hold the opinion that replacing the engine is not needed.
