05 spark plug change????
First off let me say hello. I own a v10 and am getting ready to help a buddy out with his 05 5.4l. He wants me to help him change the spark plugs out. I have changed the spark plugs on my 04 v10. Can you give me some advise on doing this job? I think this is the year for went to the 2 piece spark plugs. Also what torq setting should I torq them to? Should I also use anti seize with them or no? Does the gap need to be set on the plugs? I dont have a book to go buy. Any advise would be helpful. Thanks

How is it going to soften the carbon on the spark plug tip shields , if it doesn't get in the engine ? You're not trying to take carbon off the threads .

Here is the Ford TSB on how to do it:

Have yourself the Lisle tool ready. I only broke 5 out of 8. It wasn't that bad of a job do though.

I have pics of my plugs in my thread that show the carbon on the shields kind of syrupy showing it didn't dissolve I changed my plugs at 90,000 and only had trouble with one , and I feel that if I had been a little more patient , that one would have been fine.

I lubricated mine with WD40 on my 2004 F-150. Still snapped 4 in half. My best advice is when you change them, go to a one piece. Slightly more expensive but makes changing much easier next time. Plan on spending a lot of time removing the origional ones.
