Latest spark plug TSB
Time to do another knuckle buster plug change out. What is the V10 TSB just so I can get it right according to Big Blues current thinking?? I especially need the plug torque figure.
As always, thanks

Bump to the top again
I would still like the latest TSB number for 3 valve modular engines - but Google wont give me this or I'm using a wrong terms
So far I've seen plug torque figures while Googling of 11 lb ft (yep, even for the 3 valve), 30, 33 and 35.
PLEASE HELP - Someone!!!

I really don't believe that of so many thousand FTE members that one hasn't jumped all over me with TSB 08-7-6 and 25 lb ft
Thanks to at least one (doofuss) that supplied a good You Tube video to help some with disassembly. etc
I'm going to order the $60 Lisle (LIS65600) Broken Spark Plug Remover for Ford just in case - and if I don't need it, then I'll either sell it or stick it in my tool box for possible future use

I have a factory service manual wherein they claim the 2v PI plugs are torqued to 14 ft/lbs, no mention of anti-seize etc. Common practice seems to be about 21-24 ft/lbs with anti-seize, preferably nickel based, Permatex # 771 or 77124 (same stuff, different packaging)

Now that I have (hopefully) the latest TSB, a "Lisle 65600 - Broken Plug Remover for Ford 3 Valve", a brand new deep 9/16" 6 point socket, along with the new plugs, boots and springs, anti seize and carb cleaner am just about ready for the project. It just needs to warm up a little bit more.
Having that Lisle tool on hand just seems to be a good idea instead of making a panic run to try to find one locally - eventually, someone here will be getting a chance to purchase it at a reasonable price as the next truck will probably be a diesel

These marks can be found on the right side end, viewed looking at the exhaust ports. Heads are the same left and right so these would be at the front on right side, rear on the left. I believe even the PI heads had but 3-4 threads in the plug holes---could be mistaken but obviously the best way is to visually check.

I just went through that 'fiasco' doing the rear brakes - pads, then became calipers and rotors, then e-brake backing plates, then seals, then a hub bearing which meant a 2 hour brake job became a 2 week project (Rock Auto for most parts - NAPA is way too expensive) Thankfully that truck is the second vehicle, but needed to pull a 5th wheel camper
